Let Us Meet and Let Us Meet Again - Casco Art Institute

Depending on the prevailing view on art - or conversely, averse to this - there have always been artist who sought to approach each other. Throughout history, artists, writers and other creatives have entered into collaboration with another and have shaped the urge and need to organize themselves in various ways. The frameworks for this could be strict or loose, substantive, practical, (anti) ideological or above all social in nature. In the current situation, both within the art world as within the minds of artists, strongly individualistic and collectivist views can coexist and alternate. The need for community spirit and collective experiments among artists can be just as self-evident as seemingly absent. At the same time, well-known forms of collaborations seem to have made way for the ‘artists-network’. A way of thinking and acting, starting from the possibilities the network society offers. Cooperation and dialogue among artists can therefore be more dynamic than ever before, and the lack of a common artistic starting point does not necessarily have to exclude a rapprochement.

At the invitation of Casco Art Institute, the artists involved with artist-run-space Das Spectrum created the exhibition 'Let us meet and let us meet again', which explores the topic from their perspective as a self-organised group of young artists who collectively initiate exhibitions, artist-in-residencies and public events. What is it actually, that makes them drawn together as artists? How could the dialogues and collaborations between these individuals - actively reaching out to their peers - be understood? The exhibition, spread across four separately titled spaces, can be seen as a visual representation of the ongoing dialogues and the exchanges of viewpoints, continuously taking place between the artists of Das Spectrum.
