This is Rentnercollective? was a group show,
which I helped to organise in early 2004. The show was made up
of works by 8 different artists, who were all working more or less
closely together as a group at the time, exploring and expanding
the concepts surrounding 'Rentner'. The result was chaotic on the
one hand, presenting each person's own interpretation of the subject,
yet had a common signature on the other, with subjects, themes
and motifs running through the different works and media, which
included sculpture, painting, writing, video and installation.
This online presentation (which is the appropriate chapter in 'the
book') is not intended to showcase each individual artwork, but
present the overall feel and atmosphere of the show, which was
very much the result of a combined effort. This manifested itself
in particular through the theme and motif of the colour red, thereby
exploring issues such as group identity, social structures of groups
and their impact on creative collaborations. |
