UNTITLED is an ongoing project that started in New York in 2020. It portrays two artists living closely together for over five years.
The project traces and analyses human connections: messy, unpredictable, alive. It is about the way we all interact – with ourselves, our partners or in larger systems.
UNTITLED has been worked on in a number of media: text, sculpture, photography, drawing. The theme turned out to be crucial for us and our practice.
The results and insights of the five year exploration will be shared with the audience in several acts throughout 2025.
Two artists live in the same room for several years. What happens to them there?
They grow closer, blend into each other, and try to distinguish themselves while making sense of their interactions. On top of that, they both feel a persistent presence of the Other—something unknown, not fully known (it is there, but they cannot put it into words). Is it something from this world or not? How do we deal with things beyond our mundane reality?
UNTITLED. Act I: MANUSCRIPT is a text-based artists’ book that puts the materiality of its components at the forefront: the usage of multiple papers (different thickness, coated and mat ones, several colours and shimmers), a unique font, the text in non-linear fragments that can be read both together and individually, the performative aspect of it.
Aesthetic features of a book manuscript and of a movie screenplay were on our mind during the design process, especially the freshness, the aliveness, and the immediacy of these formats: these characteristics correspond directly with the text and the idea behind UNTITLED. Act I: MANUSCRIPT.
We are pleased to welcome you to the launch of this artists’ book at Softcover, Vienna, on Friday, March 7 at 7pm. The event includes a reading performance by Morley House, a discussion and a book signing.
