This interdisciplinary research project by Ruth Anderwald and Leonhard Grond, is a preparation for an upcoming exhibition, Dizziness-A Resource 2017 in the Kunsthaus Graz. And it is a call for an artist competition - for being part of a group exhibition, artist's lecture and project presentation at the Kunsthaus Graz.
In an increasingly destabilised world, every individual has to deal with overwhelming and dizzying situations on a daily basis, be it on a personal level or on a political scale.
Dizziness arises locally, and situationally, and combines various elements. It can clear a way ahead, stir things up, move heaven and earth - dizziness is a destabiliser. This competition is an attempt by a team of artists and scientists whom together are trying to come to a more profound and holistic understanding of the artistic process and its needs. The outcome of the study shall place emphasis on the potential of building a better environment for the needs of the artistic community in general. Further, it will provide better understanding for the contributing artist on a personal level, as all artists will be given individual feedback on their data of the artistic process and on their artistic work.
