»What takes shape in art can not only stimulate social discourse, but significantly shape it.« The body is always the first medium, serving as an instrument, projection surface, transformational space, and providing the possibility of exploring and designing new fields of perception and action. Here, the artist investigates symbolic representations and perceptual materialities in the form of events, processes, projects and actions, i.e. as real-time events. With the help of participatory strategies, viewers become involved participants, actors and co-creators. The artwork emerges in ephemeral processes and events and becomes a temporary intervention.

MOFF is an artists’ collective that aims to create art that can be experienced and shaped by all members of society.
MOFF always works as a team of artists and invites other creative minds to join the projects in order to be transdisciplinary and, depending on the form of the project and its goal, to be active in a diverse and multi-media creative way. For CC Ringenberg #2, MOFF consists of Stefanie Klingemann, Yvonne Klasen, Frank Bölter and ~.
For their participative and location-based project IN ALLER OFFENHEIT – EINHAUSUNG, the collective works in Ringenberg castle and in the public space of the city of Hamminkeln. The stay of the collective is based on a process-related and open-ended work practice and is designed as a cooperation and transdisciplinary work on site with citizens of Hamminkeln. For the duration of the residency, MOFF will install a scaffolding in varying places around the castle. The scaffolding, which is usually found on construction sites, anticipates the reconstruction that Ringenberg castle will undergo in the next years. The material is sponsored by local citizens and businesses in Hamminkeln and will be used as an artspace: as a stage for performance, video, sound and, in December, as a booth for the annual Hamminkeln christmas market.
