WORKS

Catalogue of works

The catalogue gathers independent artistic works by Steffen Rolla.

They emerge from different encounters, questions, materials, situations and artistic decisions.

Some works come out of investigations.

Others themselves become the starting point of new investigations.

Some are connected with WHAT DIRECTS? or emerge using the CMG architecture.

Others exist independently of that.

A documented process can later be investigated again in a new context.

BELONGING TO A SYSTEM DOES NOT DECIDE WHETHER SOMETHING IS A WORK.

A work can emerge from an investigation, but it cannot be reduced entirely to its emergence.

About the work →

Emergence and context

A work can emerge independently of a named investigation.

It can be the result of an investigation, or itself become the starting point of a new investigation.

A work can emerge within WHAT DIRECTS?, be connected with an investigation, or later be considered again under a new question.

CMG can be used as a specific architecture of investigation.

Such a relation does not have to exist.

The artistic independence of a work does not depend on its methodological assignment.

Work and investigation

Not every artistic investigation leads to a work.

And not every work emerges from a named investigation.

WHAT DIRECTS? opens an independent field in which it is investigated what gives direction to perception, thinking and action.

Existing works can become the starting point of an investigation again.
