ExhibitionOct 16, 2020-Oct 18, 2020
The project reflects over peace and reunification, and also a response to Europe´s current state-of-play, its shifting borders, tensions and global position.
The German Embassy in Norway has invited Art Republic to curate an installation for Oslo`s public space on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the reunification of Germany, and the European presidency, which Germany currently holds.
Art Republic has seized the opportunity to mark these two important topics – Reunification and Europe, by presenting the works by German artist Rotraut Pape, and Irish artist and writer Teresa Dillon.Pape (1956 -2019, Berlin) documented a quarter of a century of German history with the camera in her film, Die Mauer – der vertikale Horizont.
This is the first time her film is being presented in public space. Here, Pape`s performative gesture meets, New Political Thoughts, a series of slogans for an imagined political party created by Dillon. The project is extended by a newly written essay by Dillon, presenting a conversation between both artists` work and practice.
Installation presenting artworks by Rotraut Pape (DE) and Teresa Dillon (IRL/UK). Curated by Art Republic. Commissioned by the German Embassy in Norway.
