Artist Statement for Haninga Thiel
|
|
|
My work can be classified as conceptual installation art.
It deals with social, political, and environmental themes. I refer to it as "projects", rather than "artworks" - working like a field-investigator, doing a lot of research, and reflecting on my own involvement in this process.
My maxim is that art should be an open and provisional system of processing and portraying socially and politically relevant views. I don't work as a propagandist - I'm more interested in how subjective ideas and experiences, prejudices, and preferences enter seemingly objective discourses. It is important to me to connect my art with society where it can function as a corrective for experiences in reality.
Materials are found objects in combination with other media - neon, photography, video, sound. etc. I often use every-day articles in my work, investing the mundane and the ordinary with an element of transcendence.
