foreign affairs-arts alliances

an intercultural art-collaboration project by ICW

To be a stranger – to become acquainted with each other. This is the tension-field which moves the project from Isabel Czerwenka-Wenkstetten (ICW) „foreign affairs-arts alliances“. It is about an experimental art project where two or more artists with completely different backgrounds meet each other to work together. The collaboration involves a mutual understanding through the artistic process. Steps are taken to confront each other’s prejudices and stereotypes. A process of reconciliation in this confrontation.

2013, foreign affairs-arts alliances Austria-Fiji (Collaboration with Tessa Miller)

"hooked and looped" - Performance by ICW

The artist ICW moves through an audience, looking, being a spectator herself. ICW search for and chooses objects of prestige and/or symbolic from the person she looks at. She collects the objects she got with hook and loop fasteners on her skin-colored body suit. Loaded with these objects becoming bulky her movement is slowed down. In further consequence ICW starts to put aside thing by thing. Returning to become a human being in his/her nature. Naked facts.

Dates of Performance:

29.04.2018, Mana Contemporary, Jersey City New York (USA)

19.05.2016, Salon Hofatelier, Vienna (A)
