This is not a pure design approach, since I grant myself the full freedom of artistic development, not knowing where it will lead, but at the same time I have the feeling that it’s also about why I’m on this planet, and that I must give meaning to that. L’art pour l’art is not enough for me, instead I would say: L’art pour le sens.

This book launch will feature Ruth Anderwald + Leonhard Grond, who will introduce the book and their eponymous artistic research project, and Sergio Edelsztein, collaborator of the artistic research 'Dizziness – A Resource'. In 2016 he co-hosted a three-day event at the CCA, where Maya M. Shmailov participated with a lecture.

The symposium 'Between Images' explores contemporary artistic perspectives on the period after World War II. The invited artists of the symposium will use various media to approach the question of how it was possible to live together after the disillusionment of the lost war.
