Doing boundless<br />

The observation of space and spatial relationships<br />
are approached through the individual<br />
projects that make up Doing boundless. An<br />
open work environment is created that simultaneously<br />
focuses on controversy and inspiration<br />
in a creative field. In this manner set<br />
and established disciplines are dismantled<br />
and reassembled into an unconventional new<br />
order.<br />
Specific phenomena of today’s media<br />
landscape are actively and reactively chosen<br />
and processed in an alternative context. The<br />
curatorial approach to the exhibit is in part<br />
motivated by the available space itself. When<br />
taking a look at commonly used forms of exhibition,<br />
the following becomes apparent: a<br />
gallery is subordinated to a program, a museum<br />
to the bias of a genre. Doing boundless liberates<br />
itself of these strictures and yet is still<br />
bound to them. The lines converge together<br />
in space; it is all about the expression of various<br />
media and their spatial impact. Genre<br />
boundaries are purposely disregarded. Doing<br />
boundless combines dance-media, fashion,<br />
graphic and web design as well as sound<br />
and video installations, thus trying to convey<br />
modern creative work.<br />
Art serves design in the conception of<br />
shapes, and design is conducive to creative<br />
work, especially to the materiality of art.<br />
Fashion is displayed as art and art as fashion.<br />
If a new diversity of shapes is initiating the<br />
transition into a modern age, then we indeed<br />
find ourselves in the midst of a paradigmatic<br />
change that is transforming the identity of<br />
the art and design community. Times of change<br />
are not only bridges for an innovative expression<br />
of form, but also to a new understanding of<br />
established perceptions.<br />

29.05–07.07.<strong>2009</strong> Platform3, Munich<br />
22.09–07.10.<strong>2009</strong> Theatiner Church, Munich<br />
Nineteen contemporary artists of different<br />
nationalities and faiths presented their works<br />
on the theme of faith and religion, made<br />
potent statement on the diverse religious<br />
sensitivities, questioned banal practices and<br />
dealt critically with different notions of faith<br />
and aspects of Christianity, Islam, Judaism<br />
and Buddhism.<br />
The exhibition intended to open up various<br />
possibilities of intercultural dialogue and to<br />
encourage reflection on one’s own ideas and<br />
knowledge of, or prejudices on faith and religion.<br />
Through the individual use of various<br />
artistic media, a many-faceted approach of<br />
enquiring into contemporary aspects of faith<br />
and religion was developed, with the intention<br />
of contribution to new forms of discourse in<br />
the arts.<br />
The great success of Belief Unlimited at<br />
Platform3 and the persistent interest even<br />
after the exhibition was closed, motivated<br />
organizers of “Ander Art Festival” from the<br />
Department of Arts and Culture of the City of<br />
Munich, to present one part of the exhibition<br />
with a new collection of works from fifteen<br />
artists, on the occasion of this Intercultural<br />
event at the Theatiner Church.<br />
