Die Ausstellung STRANGERS’ STORIES der beiden Künstlerinnen Camilla Alberti (IT) und Małgorzata Markiewicz (PL), die beide im St.A.i.R.-Programm zu Gast waren, eröffnet einen kritisch-mystischen Dialog von Dingen und Wesen:

Camilla Alberti (IT) entwickelt phantasmagorische Räume und Skulpturen, um das Verwobensein des Lebendigen zu untersuchen. Als zeitgenössische Archäologin des Urbanen sammelt sie Industrieabfall und organische Reste und setzt sie zu monströsen Formen neu zusammen. Ebensolche technisch-natürliche Hybridwelten finden sich auf ihren maschinell bestickten Stoffen.
Małgorzata Markiewicz (PL) befragt im Medium weiblich konnotierter Handwerkstechniken Mythos und Macht aus öko-feministischer Perspektive. In ihren textilen Skulpturen, Installationen und Performances entwirft sie fantastische Gegenszenarien über die Macht des Anderen. In ihrer aktuellen Arbeit „String Figures” inszeniert sie die Fusion zweier Wesen zu einer spinnenähnlichen Superexistenz.

Camilla Alberti (Milan, 1994) currently lives and works in Milan. She obtained a MA in Visual Arts and Curatorial Studies at NABA. As a visual artist, she works on how the world is constantly constructed and inhabited, focusing on the relationships between the different living species and the surrounding space.
