Still Making Art Eight

With works by Stina Force, Zhana Ivanova, Jonas Morgenthaler and Julian Siffert.

Conceived for PART, Still Making Art Eight brings together performance, sculpture and installation within an exhibition format that unfolds gradually across time.
‍
Concerned with the performativity of the exhibition itself, the project approaches the exhibition not as a fixed composition, but as something staged, activated and continuously rehearsed through use, repetition and encounter. Live works emerge, disappear and return in altered forms, while static elements remain suspended between use and inactivity. Attention is given not only to moments of heightened visibility, such as performances and public gatherings, but also to the quieter temporalities that exist between them.

Across the exhibition, sculpture and performance are approached as interconnected disciplines. Objects act as supports, props, instruments or traces of action, while performances leave behind material and spatial residues that continue to inhabit the exhibition after the event itself has ended. The exhibition space becomes a shifting scenography in which objects, actions and their residual traces continuously reorganise the conditions of display.

In keeping with Still Making Art’s ongoing interest in duration, process and alternative exhibition structures, edition eight stays intentionally open-ended. Rather than resolving into a singular form, the exhibition remains responsive to its collaborators, public and shifting contexts.
