Nicolas Vionnet and Wouter Sibum seek new perspectives and contexts behind the everyday surrounding. At Griesbadgalerie the two artists showed existing works that reflect on urban design and human-built objects that shape social interactions. 

​

As a team, Vionnet and Sibum design installations for public places. At first, their works seem irritating, like urban design that is a little out of place. At second glance, they the temporary interventions tell stories about the sites where they take place. In Ulm, the two artists chose to work with “Taubenplätzle” a small public square in the middle of the city in close proximity to two art institutions. They revitalized the remains of the dolphin fountain that had formerly lend ambience to the square until it was relocated in the course of an urban design enterprise in the early 2000s.
