Which topic turns up again and again in your artistic activities?
My artistic activities focus on the conditions of art production and issues of presentation or representation in art. Here, I am furthermore interested in questions concerning digitality, participation and self-organisation in communicating, or also how the problem of classism – an issue which has received too little attention in my opinion – can be countered in art practice.
What do you seek to achieve with your cultural education activities?
Cultural education activities ought to seek low-threshold approaches and thus involve as many different people as possible. Here, it is important for me to create a situation which gives everyone involved a feeling of trust and equality enabling them to contribute their respective knowledge and individual abilities. It is meant to facilitate shifts in perspective, strengthen self-confidence and integrate individuals through experiences.
What, in your view, is the essence of an artistic intervention in cultural education?
My vision of artistic interventions in cultural education is to overcome old dogmas in art – such as authorship and artistic “genius”. Ideally, independent and collectively generated works of art emerge during the interventions which can do without singular authorship. Here, I am interested in creating sustainable spaces which develop not only for the brief moment of an event or a seminar but can be used or viewed on a lasting basis.
