FORT: Works

Meer over het boek

Since 2006, the women's artist collective FORT has been creating enigmatic and poetic spaces addressing contradictions in today s consumer society. Five recent installations and performative interventions by the group Alberta Niemann and Jenny Kropp, founded by Anna Jandt provide an overview of the collective s work since 2012 on the occasion of their exhibition at Kestnergesellschaft Hannover (2015). In works that often resemble readymades, FORT s staged interventions and site-specific works critique social, political and economic events. In the installation Leck, they moved the complete interior of a bankrupt bank branch into the gallery, arranging the gutted and battered shelves as a reminder of one of the largest corporate bankruptcies in postwar Germany. An introductory essay by curator Lotte Dinse describes a variety of FORT s projects and the ambiguities that arise when the original purpose of a place or object is altered by subtle intervention.
