KunstPraxis 2
Maya Bringolf and Stefan Wischnewski
01.07. - 02.08.2002

From July to August 2002 and within the framework of the KunstPraxis series of exhibitions, two contemporary artistic positions were once again on display on the premises of the company's doctor at the Wittelsbacherplatz site. As it had been the case during the first project in the series, here again the participating artists have confronted and responded to the spatial and functional givens at this site, being part of Siemens intramural facilities.

Maya Bringolf (Munich) clothed the hallway with bright pink Baroque ornaments which she laid over the existing architecture like a kind of all-over structural net. "Flumma Room" combined painterly, sculptural, and architectural components to create a new spatial perception and new figurative associations.

Stefan Wischnewski (Karlsruhe/Munich) staged a temporary installation entitled "make up" which gave the physician's waiting room a new "outfit." Bolts of tent cloth, which the artist sew on site, as well as a mirror were the ingredients which he used in this cosmetic metamorphosis of the space. An "MTSV club chair," sewn together from athletic bags, was presented as an additional opus by the same artist. The tent, the mirror, and the club chair gave a new aesthetic and a new function to the waiting room.
