BIRTH! SCHOOL! WORK! DEATH!
the little house we used to live in

Idea, concept and realization: SCHWARZ | STEINWIDDER, 2019

BIRTH! SCHOOL! WORK! DEATH! is the artistic collaboration between Stephan Schwarz and Anita Steinwidder. Their works evolve around the love of unloved, discarded, scrapped and forgotten things, and their attempt to retrieve the poetry that dwells within. The removal of these things from their original context by, for example, reworking and rearranging them, in order to rediscover them in a new context, is the result of the creative language shared by SCHWARZ and STEINWIDDER.

BIRTH! SCHOOL! WORK! DEATH! deals with the undeniable “facts”: life, death and the “in between”. Most importantly though, it deals with what is and remains to be our very own: the heart – the personal “shrine”.

“The little house” is translated into 5 shrine-like objects. Their outer skin appears tightly interwoven, enfolded and enmeshed. Here and there, the inward breaks out, allowing insights. Object 6, a mask laced up with belts, stands alone, evoking associations of unfree thought, speech and hearing.

plastic art | textile art | mixed media | sustainability in art lives and works in Vienna, Austria Born 1973 in Judenburg, Austria Holding a degree in architecture, she established her internationally acclaimed fashion label STEINWIDDER in 2002, focussed on the conceptual refashioning of textile waste and second-hand clothes for 15 years. Since 2014 Anita Steinwidder creates three-dimensional mixed media artworks that show the continuation of her artistic language. Her inspiration comes from her intense involvement with the finds: found objects relating to her rural origin, as well as other items that correspond to her very unique meaning of something being “valuable”. She reassigns meaning, form and function of these found objects by means of creative intervention and places them in a new conceptualized context.
