Our approach to the public projects, and the
reconfiguration of a public space, focuses on the attempt to integrate art into
everyday life, by embedding it into the area. The relationship between artwork,
architecture, and the private and public space is our key concern. A structure
of association between space, object and observer should be created.
Consequently, the artists’ public projects are mostly site-specific, referring
to the urban development and architecture. They are influenced by the context
of the area, its ambience and environment as well as its inhabitants. The open
character of public spaces offers the opportunity to work in a very conceptual
way. Without any institutional restrictions, the condition of nature, space,
the public and the surroundings can be reflected then translated into an
artistic idea. The works explore the situation between the viewer, the artwork
and the environment, challenging the role of art in different environments and
social contexts – in the museum as well as the public space. Interaction is a distinctive
element of the artworks, thus the viewer plays a vital role. The installations
offer the viewer the possibility of participation in the action of a piece, or
of being confronted with the surprise of the unexpected.
