UTOPIA WALL by Anke Kalk and Marie-Jolin-Koster



- - -utopia, a non-place. non existent, always absent, yet present.
a wall, the borderland between inside and outside, the skin of the house.- - -

Drawings, nurtured by the artists Anke Kalk and Marie-Jolin Köster, will be projected onto one exterior wall of contagiarte. The emerging picture of light will be copied onto the wall leaving a permanent marker of a transient space-time-act.
A dialogic movement of embedding will take place, as the projection of the artists utopic imagery will extend the walls' unidimensional surface into a three-dimensional space:
The landscape will be found on trespassers' bodies, while at the same time their presence in the real space will penetrate the utopic scenery as people, objects, cut-outs and materials exposed to the light find themselves as shadows on the wall.

A seductive play with binary oppositions that urges to construct a third space between//
here and there, transient and permanent, inside and outside, presence and absence, virtual utopia and a concrete wall.
