Freequent traveller : interaction versus contemplationSusanne Schuricht with Michael Hohl and Mirjam Struppek Origin: Static Issue
Freequent Traveller transports the visitor into a state of mind beyond the everyday providing the possibility to engage in the universal themes but at the same time reflecting personal definitions of home, mobility and identity. Thoughts of fellow participants from different backgrounds and cultures become unobtrusively visible, raising a local and global awareness. Freequent Traveller has exhibited widely. Some selected exhibitions include: - Photo credits: Bernd Hartung and Susanne Schuricht
Contributors: Susanne Schuricht (www.sushu.de) is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in live interactive art and video art. She is interested in Buckminster Fuller, Fluxus and the world of language – the most commonplace and the most individual means of expression. She's looking for processes to see the well known with new eyes and thus re-perceive oneself as well. She offers her ideas, her rhythm to everyone that's willing to travel along. The itinerary is hers, though. She has exhibited internationally, a selection: 2006 with ParticipART at MART (Museum of Modern Art of Trento and Rovereto), Italy. 2005 nominated for WB05 - The Web Biennial 2005, Istanbul Contemporary Art Museum, iS.CaM, Turkey; with WB05 at Refresh Conference in Banff, Canada and at Net-art versus Web Art, Telemar Cultural Center, Rio de Janeiro; Thailand New Media Arts Festival (MAF 05), Bangkok; Version 05 Invincible Desire, Chicago. 2002 /2003 Art, Plastics and Recycling Exhibition, Berlin; International competition Viper-Festival, Basel; Buckminster Fuller - your Private Sky, Japan-Tour: The Museum of Modern Art, Kamakura, Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art, Nagoya, Watari-Um Tokyo. 2001 presentation of the buckymap puzzle at the Buckminster Fuller - your Private Sky exhibition, Bauhaus, Dessau.
