The Crack

Joseph Beuys first introduced the term 'social sculpture' in the 1960's. He believed that art has the potential to transform a society and that 'everyone is an artist'. From that statement we believe that art as a process of co-production can stimulate the creative potential of each and everyone to serve a collective project.

The approach of the project is to 'work with' the existing given: the landscape, the materials and the actors. As such we transformed an unused tennis court into a garden of curiosities and chose to work with material that we found and collect on the site.

We organized a series of workshops with the inhabitants to draw the shape, plant the crack, co-design the objects and finally place them collectively in order recall the past of the site.
