Our home can be understood as an extension of our body. Like a second skin, it provides protection, comfort, and the ability to retreat from the outside world while safeguarding our privacy. Within this protective space, we consciously or unconsciously surround ourselves with things that define us. Whether they are everyday objects or elements of our cultural heritage, these items help shape our identity and create a personal environment.

When we are stripped of this security, our sense of identity and belonging is deeply shaken. Artists Lauren Jetty and Lisa Reiter explore the concepts of preservation, protection of property, and cultural heritage. Through their work, they raise questions about labor, domestic fear, and how the loss of security shapes our connection to cultural heritage, both for ourselves and for future generations.

Lauren Jetty is an artist, performer, musician, lecturer, and educator; often blurring the lines between these roles. Curiosity and conversation drive Lauren’s practice; she presents scenarios that bring the familiar into the realm of the magical. She specializes in the ‘other’ senses (taste, touch, and smell), with a particular interest in the cross-modality of scent and sound. She lives and works in Wales, UK. www.laurenjetty.com

grids, breath and a windowsill, 2024

Art Quarter Budapest
site-specific outdoor installation, later translated to an indoor gallery setting

paper, cardboard, tempera, wallpaste, fabric, found objects

Lisa Reiters work „Grids, breath and a windowsill“ is a site specific installation, which is located between the public and the domestic, using found materials as precisely made objects and images that build a frame around the grasp of her observations in the surrounding area in Budapest.

finding room between opposites, 2023

spacial intervention
found and already damaged spots on the walls of one floor at Kunstuniversität Linz, Brückenkopfgebäude Hauptplatz 6
deep primer, dispersion paint, dispersion adhesive, nylon flocking
dimensions variable

Finding room between opposites includes on the one hand the search for and on the other hand the visualization of all damaged areas on the walls of the entire second floor of one of the two „Brückenkopf“ buildings on Linz‘s main square. Those buildings were built between 1940 and 1943 and are part of the monumental design of the banks of the Danube in Linz planned during the Nazi regime times. 

Today it houses the main location of the University of Art and Design Linz, and I am concerned about the artistic practice in such a historically charged building, the use of which turns out to be a fragile situation for me during my work.

weil die Geste banal ist, 2021

Installation
based on the poetry collection „Mutantengarten“ by Volha Hapeyeva, Afro-Asian Institute Graz
dimensions approx. 380 x 380 x 150 cm
kerosene wax, pantyhose, nylon

Based on individually selected phrases throughout „Mutantengarten“, Lisa Reiter has created an expansive installation that attempts to atmospherically approximate the mood of the poems. 

The clear construct, the net in the room on which everything hangs, relates to the structure and clear rhythm of Volha Hapeyeva‘s poems. The many individual wax cubes are suspended from this net and determine the overall form of the installation with their own weight. On the one hand, all the cubes are identical in their dimensions, and yet none of them resembles the others due to the soft black drawing of the elements made of fine pantyhose.

 
schwerelosigkeit 
hebt dich auf - du fliegst in den raum 
bis es zeit ist zu landen
innerhalb fester grenzen
in einem konkreten land
einer wohnung
einem anderen körper  


Lisa Reiter attempts to create an expression with her work that is clear and determined, but also delicate and full of empathy - just like Volha Hapeyeva‘s poems. 

If you set the entire installation in vibration, all the individual parts vibrate and it seems as if they are communicating with each other as well as with the outside world.
