We are also working with
architects on new websites: a project with OBRA Architects from New York City is
just getting underway, so again the process is sure to be exciting and intense.
Often questions arise about what a website could be today, what it
must be able to provide under the surface. How far can you get away from norms
and from what you have learned? For LAVA Architects in Berlin and Sydney,
we are working on a book that will have the character of a magazine and will
treat individual sections differently in terms of design. For Villa Romana in
Florence, we are now designing the second annual publication. Basically, this
is five publications in one, since a separate section is being developed by us
with and for each artist. Since the beginning of the pandemic we have been
working for Kunsthall Trondheim and its director Stefanie Hessler—a
fruitful and exciting collaboration. It gives us a lot of freedom. In
collaboration with Kunsthall Trondheim, the Hannah Ryggen Triennial has been
announced. Here Ryggen’s political weavings from the first half of the 20th
century are placed in the context of contemporary art. With Nomeda and
Gediminas Urbonas, Lithuanian artists who teach at MIT in Cambridge, we have an
almost 15-year collaboration. This year we plan to print and release the Swamp
book, and we are working on the further development of the above-mentioned
Swamp Game, possibly also with an installative realization. With Urbonas,
we have a very close collaboration which allows us to try new things on many levels.
