Event
GUIDED TOUR in the Kunstraum Schwaz

Flirt brings together a selection of works by Innsbruck-based artists Lea Abendstein and Isabel Peterhans and provides insights into their artistic relationship. Instead of presenting the results of a clearly defined collaboration, the exhibition sees itself as a means of rapprochement as part of an open-ended process. In working towards the exhibition, the two artists discovered an unexpected number of points of contact in their working methods. An intensive e-mail exchange accompanied this dialog. Art appears here as a relational practice, exhibiting as a method that makes the boundaries of what is one's own and who one believes oneself to be porous. Who are we if we do not engage with each other, if we are not connected? How can we succeed in building a deeper relationship with the world? Being connected, writes Kae Tempest, requires fully accepting and experiencing the present moment. Creativity can be a way to achieve connectedness and to enter into a space of greater connectedness with those who share the moment with you.

The exhibition was invited by Nadja Ayoub, the former director of Kunstraum Schwaz, and supervised by her successor Karin Pernegger.
