Jens Haaning - Antje Schiffers

Borders to be marked out or crossed, differences, inclusions and exclusions - these are a central theme in the work of Jens Haaning. For borders - territorial, national, linguistic, social, economic, cultural, legal - regulate the coexistence of different people and interests. The Danish artist came to prominence with works of institutional critique during the 1990s. His projects inquire into the political in art, sounding out the interface between social reality and the art institutional context in ways both astonishing and cryptic.

Antje Schiffers is interested in the everyday realities of various groups within society, and in the ways their lives are shaped by economic, political, and social conditions - at both local and global levels. She learns different languages and travels a great deal; being on the move is part of her artistic working method, as the exchange of experience is always based on close cooperation with the partners in any given project, organized mostly on a barter basis. In return for her artistic work, Schiffers receives texts, videos, everyday objects, or hospitality.
