Bas Schevers:

The pieces by Bas Schevers are interventions or actions in which he deals with the given situation in an exhibition.
The experiences in making art and exhibiting, in which different understandings and questions emerge, give cause for his work. He touches the basic principles of art: how do we choose, how do we experience. His way of working, and out of that the character of his projects, is playful and radical, optimistic and subversive: steal a childrens bicycle and exhibit it, copy a work on an art fair and exhibit it in the same venue or changing the entrance of an exhibition space into the entrance of a peep show.
Complex issues are questioned this way by Schevers and gain clarity.

Anne Schiffer:
Anne Schiffer her work deals with the connection of social hierarchy and the use of (consumer) symbols in social interaction. In quite a number of circumstances our importance in society is measured by status symbols and acquiring or losing a social position.
She finds the term mimicry is applicable in this. She surrounds herself acting different characters with appropriate status symbols; objects of which not the matter itself is important but have the power to express to which class of people one would like to be part of. The purposive use of cheap, often fragile materials provide an ironic comment. The dividing line between original and copy, fact and ficition, succeed and fail is stretched and put on the order paper.
