NICO DOCKX’ works often constitute his response to found texts, images or architectonic structures. In many cases, he works together with other artists, musicians or even scientists, since his aesthetic practice develops in conjunction with and relation to others. Nico Dockx’ work is inspired by a fundamental interest in structural processes and archives. His installations, sound settings, published texts and videos examine the interrelations of perception and memory and create space for many individual interpretations.
Dockx has realised “Untitled” in Studio 3 together with the London artist and writer DOUGLAS PARK. It is part of a series begun in 2003, which aims to investigate institutional structures and identities. A series of slides with images and texts documents an exhibition in Bologna that has never been shown to the public. It comprises works and performances that have left traces behind in a building now standing empty after the inauguration of a new art museum – a rather eerie ‘group exhibition’ and at the same time a reflection on past, present and future, potential ideas of what constitutes an art museum.

In der Ausstellung "Modern Beach Design" bedient sich Robert Estermann (*1970 in Sursee, lebt und arbeitet in Zürich) souverän der unterschiedlichsten Medien: Seine titelgebenden Arbeiten sind Hybride zwischen Fotografie, Zeichnung, Collage und Installation. Sie reflektieren Stereotype und bekannte künstlerische Verfahren - und gehen doch weit über diese hinaus. In ihrer minimalistischen, reduzierten Erscheinung, in der Vermeidung künstlicher Überhöhung des Objekts und in ihrem poetischen Anspielungsreichtum stehen sie geradezu exemplarisch für Robert Estermanns Schaffen. Wortwörtlich im Zentrum der Schau steht ein Projekt, das eben erst während eines Stipendienaufenthaltes im südkoreanischen Busan seinen Anfang gefunden hat und gleichsam als postalische Botschaft unseren Ausstellungsraum erreichen wird.
Obschon Resultat einer seit über einem Jahrzehnt andauernden intensiven Auseinandersetzung mit einem fremden Kulturkreis, beschwören die neuen Arbeiten doch nie einen Exotismus. Vielmehr werfen auch sie, ohne je explizit oder plakativ-eindeutig zu wirken, generelle, fundamentale Fragen der Identität, der gesellschaftlichen Normen und der sozialen Interaktion auf.
Die Ausstellung bei Hilfikerfoto wird begleitet von der Publikation "Modern Beach Design", ediert vom Verlag Caustic Window in Seoul.

Pavilion 2 : Dissolving views
This exhibition takes us further beyond the concept of craft as contained in the object as product, or fetish, and towards the idea of craft as a living human impulse, seizing the day, something that has momentum. It includes an open space for performance and other time-based events. Traditionally static gallery pieces are stationed amidst and around works conceived in the world of the passing hours and days: the political, social and cultural, in the form of music, dance, theatre, film, poetry and prose. Dissolving views is neither about the object only, nor about motion only; it is about the meetings and interventions between both in which meaning is discovered and affirmed.
