Thomas Huber Wolfgang Aichner

GÆG Wolfgang Aichner / Thomas Huber
The artists act on long-standing alpinist experience and on the fascination in both their commitment to art and mountaineering to cross boundaries.
GÆG stands for "Global Aesthetic Genetics" and is written with the nordic Æ - a reminder of the shared adventure in an ice storm on the Icelandic glacier Vatnajokull in 1988 which the two artists only barely survived. They finally teamed up in 2005 and started working on collaborative projects. Numerous concepts were developed which led to some successful realizations like "tilia inflata" and "silva inflata" 2005, "freunde" 2006, "werteaustausch" 2006, "inside" 2008 - 2010 and "bunter abend" 2011. Beside art in public spaces, the focus of their collective practice is on installation, video and action art.
