Afterwards, we visited BR artist Maria Toumazou in her residency on Steinmetzstraße. She showed us discarded objects which she had acquired from stores that were about to close. Edited and placed in new contexts, these items are now to become works of art. In the evening, we headed on to Greylight Projects in Heerlen, the residence of Hugo Kostrzewa and Renée Stravers. The local programme started with an artist talk and the exhibition “Overburden: On Extraction And The Shape Of Things To Come” with works by Alaa Abu Asad, Rachel Bacon, Anastasia Kubrak, Harun Morrison und Miriam Sentler. Later on, Renée showed her latest film work, and the food artist Hugo gave us an insight into his current taste experiments, in which bacteria and the cycle of eating and being eaten play a major role.
