The two Berlin-based artists Finja Sander (*1996) and Daniel Schaal (*1990) take the exhibition title INVENTORY literally and embark on an open-ended exploration of selected positions from the collection of Galerie Georg Nothelfer. The artists work both independently and under the collaborative name archiv SANDER I SCHAAL. The focus of their collaboration is on long-term, multimedia narratives that evolve continuously over several years and are explored and expanded through ongoing repetition. For INVENTORY, Sander and Schaal selected eleven different artists from Galerie Georg Nothelfer, who are initially juxtaposed during a happening with the two artists' mere pool of material. Then Sander and Schaal radically expose themselves to the curated works: For several days a week, they will work through the selection, visible to the public at all times, developing confrontational strategies in a multimedia manner. The initial rational inventory thus becomes a daring undertaking with an open end.
In mid-October, the works created in the process by the two artists will be juxtaposed with the existing works. A second opening marks the transition between the working phase and the final presentation.
