Is it possible? (Foundry, London 18-23 August 2009)
Stéphanie Busson (London) and Sabine Jamme (Berlin) decided to take up the challenge of collaborating through long-distance phone calls and digital media. The aim of their experiment is to explore the dynamics and the mechanisms of artistic collaboration and to investigate issues of collaboration within this specific context:
The project will also explore collaborative work as a way for contemporary artists to support each other, to share resources, to build up cross-boundaries networks and ultimately to expand the field of their own practice.
SB and SJ started their collaboration in March 09 using the distance and their limited interaction as a starting point to their collaborative work - Is it possible?
The show at the Foundry presents works which have been created based on their weekly conversations but also other pieces produced by each artist in the past, assembled as a dialogue – a response to each other.
SB and SJ will continue their collaborative work with a series of exhibitions in European cities: Berlin, Paris...
