I have to collect myself first

Everyone knows what collecting is. We know it from childhood: stones, shells, stickers … Artists and designers, too, are fascinated by things and like to experiment with them.
Jakob Lena Knebl and Markus Pires Mata are specialists in mise-en-scène and enjoy working with painting as well as fashion, sculpture, and body images just as much as with craft traditions and popular culture.
Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt has invited the two Viennese artists to put together a personal exhibition from the holdings of their universal collections. To that end, they also rummaged around in the storerooms of crafts, mineralogy, and zoology and in the process discovered objects that have not been shown in a long time.
