Guided tour in hiking boots
Martin Schick has travelled the world as part of the thematic residency series RADICAL LIVING I-X. He has transformed the impressions he has gathered along the way into a series of functional sculptures and spread them across the pre-Alpine landscape of Schwarzsee. On their own, each sculpture serves a practical purpose of some sort; collectively, they form a narrative-driven exhibition. The artist plays around with and subverts the conventional exhibition format: including publicity, a museum shop and vernissage. Taking his cue from the contemporary flâneur, Schick invites us to join him on a gentle hike through organised nature and a bounteous cultural landscape, and to trade in our culture of consumption for a culture of investing time and effort.
