kussembargo.com    Live Art - Sculpture - Story


A kind advise for the visitor*: get slow before you get started


For now kussembargo zooms in on live art, sculptures, Gewänder, objects, exhibtions. Still, there is other stuff.

Works touch
      the body.
      sculpting and sewing
      moving, finding,
      changing, tearing apart, giving way
      working with the hands
      playing
      zeitvergehen
      wild people that aren't always cool
      a beginning and its near future
      intimacy



Material and the histories of material are important. So is transitoriness and presence.
There is affection. Sometimes an idea starts only because of the very material that has been there. Materials are re/worked, put in a relationship to others...people, texture, structure. Marks of making can be sensed. What means alive? Things are made for certain intents and purposes and not for others. At the end every body wants to be treated good!

Em Schwarzwald is kussembargo. She is currently based in Vienna and oriented towards the world.
