PIP - PUBLIC INTIMACY PROJECT I, II, III

I. Public Intimacy Advertisement Poster Project (1990-2002)

In het begin van de jaren 90’ beginnen ze met het public intimacy advertentie-poster project. Ze publiceren conceptuele en persoonlijke uitnodigingen en kunstwerken in verschillende tijdschriften en kranten (o.a. La Voix de Luxembourg, Financial Times, De Witte Raaf). Het is een manier om als kunstenaar autonoom tentoon te stellen en contact te zoeken met een breder lokaal en internationaal publiek dat ook buiten de wereld van kunstgalerijen, kunstorganisaties en musea staat. Naderhand kan dit ook worden gezien als een voorloper van de manier waarop kunstenaars later het internet gebruiken, als een democratisch en onafhankelijk platform om werk te tonen en delen. Zoals ze zelf schrijven “It is a way to reach out and exist as artists”. Als deel van dit project, publiceren ze 1997 in De Witte Raaf de conceptuele uitnodiging ‘Information Curve’. “Information Curve is een visie en positie met betrekking tot de interactie tussen de kunstenaars J. Sturm en Å. Lie en de welkome bezoeker die een bepaald werk mag kiezen uit een lijst van 7 titels, waarna wij het gekozen werk zullen tonen/presenteren.” 

II. Public Intimacy Unofficial Performance Project UPP (1994-2014)

In 1994 beginnen Jadran Sturm en Åsa Lie met hun ‘Unofficial Performance Project’ (UPP). UPP’s zijn zichtbare of onzichtbare, geplande of geïmproviseerde performances in de openbare ruimte, bij kunstmanifestaties, kunstbeurzen, tentoonstellingen en allerhande kunst events, die zonder officiële uitnodiging of goedkeuring van een bepaalde kunstorganisatie of autoriteit kunnen gebeuren. Het is een manier om als kunstenaar onafhankelijk te zijn van de kunstmarkt en zijn beperkingen. In 2001 schrijven ze ook een manifesto over UPP. ‘Unofficial Performance Project’ heeft zijn oorsprong in het vroege werk ‘Researching the visibility of the invisible matter’ dat in 1990 in Athene wordt tentoongesteld. "Wij onderzoeken de zichtbaarheid van de onzichtbare materie. Wij zien onze projecten als publieke intimiteit. Hieruit volgt dat we geen locaties of uren aankondigen, en dat er geen bemiddeling of documentatie plaatsvindt. Het werk gaat door van 12 tot 26 mei 1990 in Athene en Attica. Geschreven 25 / 03 / 1990. Stockholm. Åsa Lie. Jadran Sturm." Doorheen de jaren doen zij meerdere UPP’s, onder andere in Café Europa (Kopenhagen), Manifesta 2 (Luxemburg), Galerie Rodolphe Janssens (Brussel), Gallery Torch (Amsterdam), Gallery Jay Jopling/White Cube (London) en Gallery Mot & Van Den Boogaard (Brussel).

III. Public Intimacy Interview Talk Project (1999-2004)

Jadran Sturm en Åsa Lie nemen in Brussel een reeks interviews op met mensen wiens praktijk zij belangrijk achten, zoals de Noorse schilder Odd Nerdrum, de Spaanse filmmaker Jesus Franco, de actrice Lina Romay, de joodse theater directeur Tuvia Tenenbom en de italiaanse architect Massimiliano Fuksas. Voor deze gesprekken vertrekken Jadran Sturm en Åsa Lie vanuit een reeks vraagstellingen die in hun eigen praktijk een belangrijke rol spelen. De reeks biedt naderhand een verrijkend inzicht in de ideeën en concepten die zowel de geïnterviewde als de interviewers bezighouden.
