The press came to the festival centre in Grünau this morning and interviewed a few of us.
We finished the wax mural (225 panels in total!).
And later the first of the two openings at D21. Here works by Andrea Pichl, Laurent Kronental, Margaret Hoppe, Anne-Valérie Gasc, Ginan Seidl & Ray Peter Maletzki explore the legacy of modernity – the urban narrative of an architecture for the masses and the individual. Exhibition – like the festival as a whole – was crisp and vibrant.
As a materials-led artist and maker working primarily with found materials, I forage, gather and reuse everything from cardboard to pallets and wooden fruit boxes. I am driven by a desire to celebrate the overlooked, for instance printing the utilitarian symbols I collect from packaging, onto the other materials on which they are commonly printed. My work combines elements of design, paper engineering, fine art and construction, and is made available through limited editions, as well as informal interventions in the urban environment.
