Werkpräsentation und Arbeitsgespräch mit den diesjährigen St.A.i.R.-StipendiatInnen Coline Robin und Boris Kostadinov.

The presentation reviews some previous projects by Boris Kostadinov featuring Kamen Stoyanov. The exhibitions are international and they are implemented in public institutions, private galleries and artist-run spaces. The concepts of the projects are based on different aspects of contemporary social, economic and political reality.

Coline Robin
is architect, artist and illustrator. She has studied architecture in Paris and Istanbul. She worked in Germany with different organisation and architecture collectives. In different ways, their collaborations tackled the question of urban shared space.
She will present the project she developped during her 5 months artist residency in Graz. Her project “All the missing maps” collected spatial stories and feelings of the inhabitants of a heterogeneous neighborhood, Lend. Through a serie of models, she put in perspective different realities in order to display the contradictions and similarities of our relationships to space. Her project explore the relations between our perception of space and our ways of appropriating us the urban space.
