Another Bandwagon is the return of Düsseldorf-London based artist-group hobbypopMUSEUM to Vilma Gold 15 years after their show Vilma Gold - a modern life.
Another Bandwagon is the third stop of the current european gallery tour of hobbypopMUSEUM after Wuppertal and Paris with many more european cities to come.
The-museum-in-another-turquoise-suitcase brought to London by a representative of the group opens up to unfold a brand new multimedia-installation specially produced for Vilma Gold.
"We believe strongly that in artistic collaboration lies something other than compromise, something very valuable. As a group we create site-specific installations. These installations can be seen as textures woven out of figures that are linked together by iconographic and formal criteria. The arsenal of figures spans from painting, drawing, photo, film and sound to words, performance, sculpture and architecture. Which form the figures will have, depends on the basic idea and how this idea is developed by the group, while working on site of the exhibition space.
We see our work as a journey with each exhibition representing a station on this journey. This image is enhanced by the fact that we travel, meet up, disperse and reconvene for our exhibitions all over the world. There is a definite thread of narrative running through the shows as well.
By melting our individual cores we will achieve a massive release of beautiful energy."
hobbypopMUSEUM is operating around the world since 1998.
