| | Description: | History of the Project:
The first manifestation of this kind of art-
exchange was devised for an art project,
Tuchfuhlung, in the small town of
Langenberg, Germany, in 1997, to which
I was invited together with two of my
colleagues in Berlin.
The three of us: myself, Elke Nord and
Rosemary Jarman, formed the group
NONOJA. In German, ein Tuch is a
piece of cloth or fabric. To be in
Tuchfulung implies a feeling of closeness
or bodily contact. We wished to be in
contact with the people of Langenberg,
to talk to them, and to involve them in
the art process.
We began by exchanging small books
containing signed artworks with our
friends and acquaintances wherever our
travels took us.
By the time we went to Langenberg
there were already 1 50 pockets filled in
the canvases we had prepared
beforehand. A book with text and
photographs followed. On August 1 and
2, the group NONOJA was on duty in St
Michael's Catholic Church ready to enter
into dialogue with members of the
general public or any of the other 200
artists invited to participate in
Tuchfuhlung.
The response was overwhelming, and in
24 hours the number of relics more than
doubled. All the objects we traded for
were immediately photographed, entered
into our register and sewn into the
pockets. The canvases were laid out
along narrow tables that reached down
the central aisle of the church from the
first row of pews to the front portal,
where they remained for the rest of the
month, even during a society wedding.
Tuchfuhlung was not completed for us
until March 1998, when NONOJA
exhibited all our projects and editions at
the Galeria 13 in Hannover, formerly
used as a church. Here, 384 'relics'
pocketed on 1 0 canvases hung along
the back wall where the altar used to
stand, and the book, in a golden
clothbound case, was placed on a
lectern beside them. The project is now
being prepared for exhibition on the
Internet at the web site Fine Arts Online
.
