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.

Ennepetal

Begleitet wird die Grand Snail Tour von Künstler*innen aus dem Bereich Literatur, Fotografie und Illustration, die zeitgleich zum Aufenthalt des Tourmobils, Eindrücke und Reflexionen aus jeweils derselben Stadt sammeln und diese sie visuell oder literarisch ins Bild setzen. So entsteht ein Paratext zur 3-jährigen Tour, der in Form einer Reisechronik, ein Kaleidoskop an Geschichten, Verbindungen, Momentaufnahmen in den 53 Städten der Region als Gleichzeitigkeiten und Ungleichzeitigkeiten zur Grand Snail Tour sichtbar werden lässt.

Joram Schön interessieren Landschaften als menschgemachte Natur- und Erfahrungsräume: Übergänge zwischen Architektur, Vegetation, Industrie und Infrastruktur, Verkehrs- und Bewegungsachsen wie Wasserwege, Straßen, Bahnstrecken und Lufträume, aber auch Ladenfassaden, Schaufenster, Typografie, grafische Gestaltungen, Imbisse und Innenräume – Orte des Alltags, in denen sich regionale Eigenheiten, soziale Dynamiken und zeitliche Spuren unmittelbar zeigen.
