Martin Sonderkamp
We will work together in the form of 1 on 1 sessions, collective feedback (orally, written and physical), kitchen talks and discussions. We will furthermore develop an appropriate format for a public presentation to allow each artist to communicate their individual concept, their research and their process of realization.
