Based on our situation as artists-in-residence in a gentrified harbor area we scrutinize the role
of artists and the expectations placed upon them in the transformation process from the
post-industrial- to the 'creative city'.

Visitors can pick a paper with the conclusion of our research from the roof-beam of the exhibition hall:

'Artists matter a great deal in today´s economy - though not primarily as producers of art.'
Richard Lloyd

The scaffold leading up to the roof construction holds our diagram that depicts the utilization of artistic practice through representatives of politics and business as well as the resulting social, urban and
economic impacts.

On a monitor attached to the scaffold, two videos are on display:

Video 1:
Our new text on the promotion song of the city of Kaohsiung.

Video 2:
'The artists as... '
In an act of overaffirmation we stage a (modified) classical studio-situation for the visitors of the art-center passing randomly by.
The texts read by the male model are summarized in diagrams by the female artist.
