Evaluator Timo Herbst (Artist)

different. market orienteated art tends towards a perfect surface and events. I guess serious questioning of matrial and/or topics rather produces a conversation of an audience instead of events. I fear a eventmaking of art because of financial needs of all sorts of art institutions. I work by putting into dialogue theoretical claims and autonomous forms of art and I hope to develop these ideas in more experimental ways by collaborating with people from different professional fields, both artists and non-artists alike. Therefore my focus is merely not in the arword and mostly in connections of differents professional fields. This results from my perspective that, at best, art (and living, too) is not satisfied by creating works that just agitate and irritate, but rather in their attempt to find a way of thinking about and perceiving the world, and furthermore, to question the very processes of thinking and perceiving.
