Viola Relle & Raphael Weilguni

©Roland Baege

Viola Relle (*1992 Budapest) and Raphael Weilguni (*1989 Augsburg) have been working together since 2012. Viola and Raphael create their works collectively. They model simultaneously on sometimes large ceramics, which become relics of a process of communication and negotiation that takes place while they are working. Nothing is chosen at random or lightly, because everything has to be justifiable in front of the other. Transformative processes, both in the landscape, such as the extraction of resources or ruins, and in the human body (digestion) emerge as themes in her works and establish connections between material and economy, landscape, architecture and body. Each sculpture is the result of its own developments, some of which are unforeseen due to the firing process. The integration of the sculptures into performative projects (e.g. Raphael and Franz have been making music for you since 2012) and the site-specific and collective projects of the two, such as the construction of an open workshop with a kiln in Munich or the exchange with passers-by on the streets of New York, which led to the work Hero, locate the traditional medium of ceramics in the present and open it up to a broader cultural and social exchange.

Dorsten

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour. Chroncler in Dorsten is Anna Haifisch.

„Vorbei am Baumarkt und dem geschlossenen Wettbüro, nach zwei schaurigen Eisenbahnbrücken, stand da plötzlich dieser kleine Kohlenwagen mit dem Namen des Angelsportvereins als liebevolle Erinnerung an alte Zeiten. Statt Erz und Kohle lugten ein paar erfrorene Blümchen hervor. Mit dem kleinen Wägelchen wäre ich gern durch Dorsten gerollt, musste aber leider meine kalten Füße benutzen.“ - Anna Haifisch
