The project
Different artist’s choices are introduced to the public: The two artist friends
Tomomi Adachi and An Seebach have choosen various artists for a small festival’s program.
Since Tomomi Adachi is temporary member of the Kuenstlerhaus Dortmund,
they both share a continual art discussion. Next to other subjects it is naturally about the specific Asian and European views on contemporary art, the cultural differences Japan-Germany in general.

This weekend they will personally introduce artists. Some of them they know for long,
some they have never meet before; some of them are attending, some can only be presented by the art work. As there is a wide range of interests within their own works, the presented media will be several: performance, video, sound poetry, lectures, film, photography, installation, music and dance.

Takashi Ishida, Tokyo

In spite of some anachronistic aesthetics, his film has very fascinating
details. Finally the details cover all ideas. His films are
based on simple and basic principal of animation. But it shows
fruitful possibilities of the material as films.

Monica Klingler, Brussel

Without stage lighting and sounds, she uses only minimum
movements in her dance. But they evoke maximum pleasure.
It is an essential experience of dance.

Thomas Stricker, Duesseldorf

Stricker approaches the traditional media of sculpture in his specific way of researching.
In his pieces the process of building - even the conditions of creating and the
structure surrounding it - became part of the work. Stricker talks about projects like:
“Es blüht oder es blüht nicht!?” “Das Land fließt wirklich!” These sculptures would
have been impossible without long-term social involvement of the artist, who convinced
people to collaborate for his idea.
