»Stretching Materialities«: Co-curating as Fieldwork

June 26, 2021 — After many months of preparation, including creating a virtual tour as preliminary fieldwork, the curatorial team of Object Space Agency is finally on site. Together, we go through the space that has now become strangely familiar, handling ideas that we have been already stretching in many directions. Things fall into place, as we decide how to curate the common vitrine at the entrance. The discussion is easy, the agreement comes with few words, in an atmosphere of trust which testifies of a long process of working up the materials and space together. 

With our site-specific installations being actually installed on-site, some surprising effects are showing. The cloud installation of Clemens Winkler can produce an impressive “cinematic post-production” vibration effect, When the huge membrane of the daylight ceiling appliance is set into vibration. Art historian Nina Samuel climbs on the ladder to try it out.

Object Space Agency team: Clemens Winkler, Claudia Blümle, Natalija Miodragovič, Yoonha Kim, Nina Samuel, and the assistants Lara Ladik & Marie Trabandt.
