T R A N S F E R  artist-book  Anke Binnewerg and Antje Seeger / Dresden                               

b) and we wanted to make visible somehow the processes the solidified with that.

From that came what you see here today - the internet artist book TRANSFER.

The artist book can be downloaded from the website
www.transfer- kunstprojekt.de and along with a valuable license. 30 licenses are available for purchase. The key for that is a license plate with each 30 individual access codes and our signets.
To make possible for you a good start to read the artist book we would like to present to you three palpable examples from it. Those are dear to our hearts and should help to make visible that it is a process.
First Mrs. Binneweg will present some of her works.

Anke Binnewerg:
With an example I would like to show you what is the specialness of the Transfer project for me.
For this please go to page 72*. There you see the work "Tauchbad" (diving bath). When experimenting I had the thought to sink a inkjet printing of a highway in an aquarium and to watch what then will happen to the paper. In the long run I counted on the picture being washed out, or moss forming on the paper. But it did not happen.

On page 75* you see the work "Autobahnabschnitt Dresden-Loschwitz" (highway between Dresden and Loschwitz). The work is a collage where I replaced the Elbe with the print-out of the inkjet printing showing a highway. I was interested here in the similarity, that is the aisle-likeness and the tail motion of
these two space systems river landscape and highway.
Please do now change to page 102*. There you see a plasticine made highway floating in a small aquarium. I tried to repeat the test shown at the beginning with the print out of the ink jet printing and water and experimented also with reflections.

On page 109* you see the model of a highway built into a river basin  and on the following page 110* an idea sketch. Presented is a possible intervention where I wanted to put into effect  with fixating ribbons a highway quasi floating on a river.

After further works with the subject 'water' and 'highway' on pages 119* to 121* I tested the floating highway idea then on a smaller scale in a brook. This you can see on pages 126* to 127*.

From various works I selected this one as an example on purpose because one can retrace very well the formation of an idea via various phases to a kind of preliminary result. The connection between these works became only obvious for me afterwards when I looked through the artist book, because the works do not  follow each other linearly and often several works with different themes were produced in-between.

Antje Seeger:
In the course of TRANSFER I worked with the analogies DRIVING and RELIGION. The term distance as a contemporary replacement for divinity plays a significant role here. For our communication exchange I started amongst other things to analyze the images which become visible when driving a car respectively react on the driver directly. When a vehicle is driven those display themselves like a triptych (see TRANSFER page 65*). 
This exhibition is the 01. for the year project shared space 2009 of  the EINSTELLUNGSRAUM e.V.

Here A.B. in each case turns to the people  who were actually present during the vernissage and were standing in front of a computer each with a mouse in their hands with which they could access the internet art book TRANSFER offline page by page.
