Curator: Jennifer Cierlitza

Cities as places of coexistence, as both spontaneous and staged public spaces, and as architecture made into stories and histories are the basis of Maruša Sagadin's and Bianca Pedrina's artistic investigations. Both artists explore the possibilities and limitations of public space, the social dimensions of architecture and urban planning, and the contradictions inherent in urban space and infrastructure. Their perception of individual buildings or parts of buildings, of striking or inconspicuous views and forms, is condensed in their work into a critique that is both humorous and subtly precise. This critique is not a mere denunciation of the existing, but a sensitive questioning of the urban everyday for its backgrounds, shadows, and deeper layers.
