Projects by Stefan
Krüskemper operate in public and in public spaces, using
artistic resources to tackle issues of personal, societal and
context-specific relevance. As a consequence of his way of working,
which depends on participation and on collaboration with persons
concerned in various ways – experts and interest groups – conventional
concepts of artistic authorship and technical competence have
undergone a shift of meaning. For the artist in the urban environment,
working at the interface between disparate spheres to make community-building
experiences achievable, artistic practice today has to focus
more on communication and strategy.
Stefan Krüskemper
and Jörg
Amonat established the Berlin buero
für integrative kunst (Office of Integrative Art)
in 2000 as a forum for this integrative approach to creating
art. Within the framework it provides, artists work on their
projects individually and jointly in varying constellations,
as the case may be. On the one hand they work on initiatives
of their own designed to explore the discursive potential opened
up by art, while on the other they deal with enquiries received
by the Office or addressed to a specific artist. In terms of
format, Stefan Krüskemper’s multimedial projects
include situation-based interventions, site-specific installations
and concept art.
Since 2005,
the artistic processes have been accompanied by commentary
and reflection in the publications of the verlag für
integrative kunst (Publisher of Integrative Art). Its
programme includes books and documentations as well as video
and audio productions. A speciality is the highly condensed
form known as the text miniature. Krüskemper and Amonat
regard publishing activity – broadly speaking, the publication
of texts, articles and essays – as an integral part of
the role of a creative artist.
In
addition to his work as a practising artist, Stefan Krüskemper
teaches and gives lectures at universities. His work with students
focuses on group discussion as a complement to the conceptual
development of individual ideas and initiatives, on mutual sharing
of experience in the visualisation and implementation of emerging
projects, and on teaching the practical fundamentals of art for
public spaces. |
