RELAX (chiarenza & hauser & co)
Landis & Gyr Stiftung Residency
2009
Marie-Antoinette Chiarenza and Daniel Hauser are visual artists who have worked together since 1983 as RELAX (chiarenza & hauser & co). In its works, RELAX occupies an artistic position that seeks out in-between spaces, infiltrates them, questions economic connections and their cultural impact and examines social links and patterns. The artists' research is transformed into photography, installations, drawings, video works and performances
RELAX have exhibited at Graphic Art Collection ETH Zurich, 2018, Center for Contemporary Art Tbilisi, 2015, Cornerhouse Manchester, 2010, Museum Folkwang Essen, 2008, and the Swiss Pavilion of the Venice Biennale of Architecture, 2000.
