Exhibition Overview

The exhibition "Connecting through Collective Care and Redistribution" at WallStreet Fribourg features the artist duo Stirnimann-Stojanovic, composed of Nathalie Stirnimann and Stefan Stojanovic. Their work explores social and structural issues through transdisciplinary and collective approaches, blurring the boundaries between art, activism, and society. The residency of the artists in Belgrade is also highlighted, emphasizing the connection between art and sustainable living conditions.

Artistic Concept

The main artwork in the exhibition, "What if the walls were more flexible? – Connecting through Collective Care and Redistribution," presents a thought-provoking exploration of the symbolic nature of bricks. The installation, created in collaboration with Vesna Stojanovic, uses crocheted yarn layers and clay layers to symbolize the flexibility and resilience of human relations in the face of societal challenges. The artwork reflects a shift towards building new communities and relationships in the 21st century, emphasizing the importance of solidarity and care.

Acquisition Details

Individual bricks or sequences of multiple bricks from the installation can be acquired to support Stirnimann-Stojanovic's practice. The price for each brick includes costs for materials, production, artistic labor, and contributions to Vesna Stojanovic's "Care Income" and the "SoliSoliFund." The ongoing evolution of the installation and the collaborative nature of the project ensure its continuous development and relevance. For inquiries or purchases, interested individuals can contact the artists directly at info@stirnimannstojanovic.com. By acquiring a piece of the artwork, supporters become active participants in the collective journey of the artists and contribute to the sustainability of their practice.
