SE Blueprint had the pleasure of working with international artists Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber on their project for the SPACES gallery exhibit entitled: “… in a most dangerous manner” which runs from January 29 – March 26.

The exhibit demonstrates how the current economic crisis is not an anomaly or the result of government failure but rather that the economy is simply cyclical in nature.  Each of the artist’s pieces examine the current issues surrounding recovery and stabilization as well as ideas for alternative economy structures.

Projects in the exhibit include showcases of art, publications, found objects, documents, screenings, performances, and town-hall discussions.

Other artists presenting in the exhibition are: Julia Christensen, Elaine Gan, Benj Gerdes and Jennifer Hayashida, Lize Mogel, Claire Pentecost, Ohio University School of Art Critical Regionalism Initiative (Kainaz Amaria, Matthew Friday, Ray Klimek, Jeff Lovett, Yates McKee, Jason Nein, Spurse), Katya Sander, and Allan Sekula.

Sabine Bitter / Helmut Weber
Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber have collaborated on projects that address urban geographies, architectural representations and related visual politics since 1993.

Their artistic works focus on emergent sites and overlaps of architecture, urban developments, communications systems and modes of artistic and cultural production as they are mediated through photography, video and new media technologies.

Other projects of theirs include: “Caracas, Hecho en Venezuela”, “Live Like This!” and “CITYtransformer 02″.

SPACES
SPACES was founded in Cleveland in 1977 as a forum for artists to engage the public in dialogue about contemporary art. An art centered organization, SPACES presents four major exhibitions every year that showcase regional and national artists that push boundaries and are innovative with unconventional materials such as video, film, dance, music, performance art and multi-media.
