Research and writing as well as planning and analysis are integral parts of contemporary artistic work. Occasionally artists even conduct “impact studies”. The works of the exhibition Work in Progress present research as a particular, individual project. The title refers to the way the external circumstances of creative work, the continuous change of concepts and methods, become part of the artwork as fundamental conditions of creation.
Constrained into the role of exhibited object, these originally documentary videos comment on the position and the image of “art” and “creative work” in today’s society. We can view the entire process of a work’s creation without having the slightest idea of what is going on. There are no moments of inspiration anymore, muses have gone; ecstasy and transcendence remain outside the scope of art. The secret is not revealed, because it is gone. What remains is hard work and the concept. {youtube}1nAzpSZgY08{/youtube}
