Project: Sputniks
From the beginning of 2002 until the end of 2004 I was part of a group of curators, writers and artists; the collective was entitled the “Sputniks”. We were connected to Kunstverein München, Munich, Germany, during Maria Lind’s directorship. As a Sputnik, one was invited to follow and comment on the programme of the curatorial team during these years, as well as to do a project for the institution. I did a partly performative project that lasted for two days only, November 13th - 14th, 2004. The title was Reflections of Space, and here I could connect three spaces (the Residence Museum, the Diana Temple in the Hofgarten with Kunstverein München’s lobby) with experience to see painting in space and relate this to thoughts on the conditions of space itself. This project and what I learnt from it became very important for finding different forms of display, and experimenting with media for my next project, Grand Tour.
