ekw 14,90

The artist group ekw14,90, founded in 2000 by Moke Klengel, Christoph Rath, Marlies Stöger and André Tschinder in Graz (A), started appearing in public via the medium radio. Starting with experimental radio broadcasts, ekw14,90 soon expanded their field of activities towards other forms of art (performance, video, soundart, music, theater). Projects with an emphasis on narration form the basis of ekw14,90‘s works, but the group does not limit its production to a certain form of expression or a singular topic, they use different materials and media for their – sometimes site specific – artworks. Subtle use of associations, play of words and radical reduction but at the same time absurd exaggeration mark the artistic work of the group. They aim to question traditional modes of perception and intend to displace paradigms of meaning. By now one lives in Graz, Zurich and Linz and „ekw14,90“ rather describes a label.
