Artist talk


Renate Schweizer Renate Schweizer


AUGUST 22, 2015


What's the value of making art? Why using old worthless teabags without any value? Which value have people, nature and earth in your mind? Are you interested to find a different kind of view and to change perspectives ? Making art with old teabags is dealing with the question about judging the value of people, of human beings, of nature, animals, of work, natural sources, different kinds of thougths and minds... Since more than 10 years I use old used teabags as art-material in different ways: Installations, Collages, wearable Art, performances... You are very welcome to come and to see, to discover the new value of things, we didn't give any concern after we valued it as worthless https://vimeo.com/106266597
