re:de:construct #1
AntennA is a collaborative art project initiated by artists Anno Dijkstra and ax710. Their way of working is radically different: Anno from the physical presence, the analog and ax710 with the emphasis on interaction, digital art and circularity.. During COVID-19 they started the experiment to collaborate in a new outdoor artwork where the material of two works of art will be reused: Reconstruction 0 by Anno Dijkstra and axicolor® by ax710.
Together they will realise a contemporary way of communication that interacts with the environment in very different ways. It is precisely the differences in method and approach to art that connect all of them in an important similarity: social engagement and social involvement. Interaction with the environment and communication with the public is important in their work. Signaling, sending, listening, looking, making contact.
Other talented and starting artists from different disciplines are invited to join the AntennA collaboration. Hannes Arvid Andersson joined from the start in 2020, Dragan Glamočić in 2021 and in 2022 Alan Ahued Naime came on board. The artists will jointly realise a new work of art, each based on their own vision and expertise.
Inauguration AntennA
The first step of AntennA was the reuse of Reconstruction 0 and the transformation into AntennA. It started with the extensive job to laminate the hundreds of pieces of material, in different forms and sizes with Acrylic one. All the pieces were reused in the artwork AntennA. The second step in the development will start after the summer, by reusing the billboards from the work axicolor®, in conjunction with AntennA.
