Pierre Galic "Where is your mind and did you know it was gone?"

Point of departure in Pierre Galic’s (1977) work is the stress situation of persons in urban public space where a constant fight for every person’s hearing persists. Lots of overloading impressions result in the well-known white noise. This rather brutal situation Galic intends to counter with a poetic moment, without any sales motives or guerilla-marketing. For this purpose he took out a public ad appealing to recount one’s
most intensive dream. He recorded those stories, looped them and installed them at
junctions in the city. www.debug-visuals.com

Dita Zende "FIT - free international filling station"

In his artistic work, Dida Zende acts on the assumption that art has to be more than an elitist, autoreferential system. For him, art must go far beyond that if it is to be of any social relevance and impact. That’s why the Berlin artist “FITs” filling stations, that is to say occupies and designs vacant filling stations together with local voluntaries. This
way he translates visions of depleted resources into the creative force of people who, in
a combined effort, produce “living power” – no matter whether with painting, installa-
tion art or actionism. So Dida Zende’s answer to this year’s topic of ARTRMX Where is my mind? is clear: “At the Filling Station for creativity! www.f-i-t.org
