— too bold, too big, to far: Unrealized artworks become visible. Artists from all over connect.
While mobility is restricted, borders and distances are clearly perceptible and existential uncertainties
are omnipresent, more artistic works than ever remain in the state of planning. Whether it fails due to
lack of time, space or money or accompanies your artistic work for years as bold dream — we are looking
for your projects, which have not (yet) made it beyond their state as an idea, concept, draft or prototype.
With this exhibition we want to open up a space and visibility in terms of concepts, sketches, drafts, plans
and photographs. These papers will be presented at the art space BLECH. in Halle, Germany.
At the same time, despite current challenges and immobility, this format allows to present
and bring international artists together. Since many things cannot take place on location and in person,
there will be an online programm additional to the exhibtion. For an exchange and encounters, the
participating artists and their work will be presented and discussed on a digital platform.

STATEMENT
In a generalized covid-19 crisis, the body's perception never ceases to try to extract any kind of certainty. Uncertainties, however, prevail. "I prefer to measure humans with the parameter of misery and exhaustion.”, Said Hijikata Tatsumi in his last speech. Faced with the immeasurable chaos of today's life, everything we can measure it is the intensity of what we feel. In this case, it is no longer trying to understand what is happening to the world, just to measure everything you feel. (keep breathing)
We asked ...
What role do unrealized projects play in your artistic practice?
Unfulfilled work means the creative trajectory of the thought between creating and making.
How has the situation of the last months changed your artistic work?
Nowadays, unfulfilled projects have a new meaning. In times of pandemic, anxiety rebounds in creativity because priorities are always being revised. This review of thoughts runs through art all the time because not only are they related to artistic making - like creating in a shared studio - but a review of role of art in your life.
What does failure mean for your artistic work?
Failure means being open to the possibilities. In different fields of life, the duality of making mistakes and getting it right can be understood as something tangible. In art, this duality seems more like criticism than creation.
