...with Alicia Framis

In this episode of WAS MIT KUNST, Johann König talks to the
Amsterdam-based artist Alicia Framis. Known for her interactive and
interdisciplinary art and performances, she addresses social and
political grievances. They talk about previous projects, fears,
being a Dreamkeeper and her new show LEAVE HERE YOUR FEARS at König
Galerie, Berlin. For this exhibition, Framis has constructed a
mirrored steel sculpture that will occupy the center point of the
Chapel at St. Agnes. This durational, interactive show involves two
distinct moments, both anchored to the reflective object at its
core. In the first moment, Framis asks viewers to write down their
greatest fears and drop them into a small opening on the
sculpture's mirrored surface. In the second moment, Framis takes
the anonymous letters and transfers them onto stretched canvases
that will then cover the walls of the chapel. Beginning with her
opening on March 23rd in König Galerie, Berlin, she will continue
to work on her pieces daily in the gallery through April 22nd.
Visitors can thus become part of her work creation and see a new
state of her exhibition every day.
