BAUMÜLLER / HOFMANN - AZRA AKSAMIJA

BAUMÜLLER / HOFMANN - AZRA AKSAMIJA

With their project DIE WURSTHABERER, Patrick Baumüller and Severin Hofmann raise issues of securing one’s (artistic) existence and of consumer behavior. In their work, Baumüller and Hofmann deal with everyday practices and reverse familiar orders. As DIE WURSTHABERER, alongside their comparatively insecure existence as artists, they attempt to establish a lucrative parallel existence as purveyors of luxury sausages. As well as experimenting with new forms of production, the piece is also about sociocultural inter action and examines issues of economic policy.

In her work, the artist and architect of Bosnian origin Azra Akšamija examines Islamic architecture and religion, as well as current forms of religious practice and identity. Her projects show various states and need of a cosmopolitan generation of Muslims who refer to the underlying traditions of form and function, but who apply them to a contemporary context. This analysis draws on different cultural traditions and forms of art and architecture.
