Hilary invites a friend who has lived in Bonn all her life on the silent walk. She tells us she has not heard Bonn in this way before. Those who witness, discuss the importance of water and the state of our environment. We think about the work in relation to water as a resource. We hear a new city in silence.
The Go-Between (Der Vermittler)
Hilary Kneale und Ann Rapstoff
Begleiten Sie die Künstlerinnen bei einem Gang vom Frauenmuseum, Aufbruch um 14.30 Uhr am Freitag, dem 26. Oktober (etwa 1 Std.)
Als Teil der aktuellen Ausstellung Umfeld < - > Inwelt im Frauenmuseum werden Hilary Kneale und Ann Rapstoff in Oxford beginnen. Sie werden Wasser von der Themse abfüllen, und dieses Wasser als flüssigen Boten über Land nach Bonn transportieren. Nach der Ankunft in Bonn werden sie das Wasser der Themse in zeremonieller Stille gegen Wasser des Rheins austauschen. Dadurch werden die Städte und ihre Einwohner Teil eines gegenseitigen Austausches von leblebensspendendem Wasser, unterstützt durch die Vermittler.
Hilary Kneale and Ann Rapstoff have worked as a collaborative partnership since 2000. When they are not working together, they pursue their individual practices, whilst continuing to support each others development. Their collaborations have included establishing a series of live art events VAIN liveart, developing projects, curatorial practice and devising working strategies.
Their collaborations are grounded in responses to site and context and work is often process based, They have an interest in including the public and those from other backgrounds in their work.
The artists developed a new body of work entitled The Go-between for The Frauen Museum in
