Decentralised aesthetics »Here up front«

»Hier vorne« (Here up front) is a book containing ten individual posters with artwork and texts by Catrin Altenbrandt, Christina Föllmer, Martin Gorka, Teresa Habild, Adrian Nießler, Katrin Schacke, Catrin Sonnabend, Cornelia Vogt and Violetta Walter. »The parallel 'hanging', 'standing' or 'running' of art and design projects that have nothing to do with one another neither in their formal nor in their creative expression but are still being compared with one another, quickly creates a warped perspective. Is this painting or illustration? Am I experiencing a performance or rather an event? Is this a piece of video art or a music clip? Borders dissolve when art becomes a game between its creator and the audience, when both are communicating, when the author approaches the public.«
