Series Alpha and Omega, ICW, 2021
The series Alpha and Omega by Isabel Czerwenka-Wenkstetten ICW develops from the former work.
In this works now, developed in the last two years, she deals with the topics of life, thriving in specific frameworks- and death. Death from which rises and is intrinsically connected.. life and fresh striving.
Like in former works, a strong aspect of ICWs works is the getting in touch, perhaps the confrontation or alignment with oneself and the surrounding world, appearances, always changing, that are physically reflected in the symbolic signs of the mirror designs.

"hooked and looped" - Performance by ICW
The artist ICW moves through an audience, looking, being a spectator herself. ICW search for and chooses objects of prestige and/or symbolic from the person she looks at. She collects the objects she got with hook and loop fasteners on her skin-colored body suit. Loaded with these objects becoming bulky her movement is slowed down. In further consequence ICW starts to put aside thing by thing. Returning to become a human being in his/her nature. Naked facts.

Ongoing Project:
foreign affairs-arts alliances - an intercultural art-collaboration project by ICW
To be a stranger – to become acquainted with each other. This is the tension-field which moves the project from Isabel Czerwenka-Wenkstetten (ICW) „foreign affairs-arts alliances“. It is about an experimental art project where two or more artists with completely different backgrounds meet each other to work together. The collaboration involves a mutual understanding through the artistic process. Steps are taken to confront each other’s prejudices and stereotypes. A process of reconciliation in this confrontation.
Dates of projects:
2013, foreign affairs-arts alliances Austria-Fiji (Collaboration with Tessa Miller)
2009, foreign affairs-arts alliances Austria-United States of America: Steps to Hope
(Collaboration with Leslie Fry)
