A House for Workers, Argentina

History

Sebastian Hicks and Stefan Breuer, studied together at the Akademie of Fine arts in Vienna and have collaborated on multiple projects, ranging from artistic interventions in Vienna to a sustainable forestry center in Northern Argentina. At the core of their practice is a dedication to craftsmanship, set around a robust theoretical position that embeds participatory practice and civic agency into its fabric. An act of collaborative cultural production, the forestry worker’s house on the Bolivian border, is an open dialogue between the vernacular and the digital, the colonial and the colonised.

Their core practice, research and teaching, is increasingly centered around the production and promotion of dialogical narratives, oscillating in scale between the facilitation of everyday peace, to implementing critical spatial practices at socio-environmental junctures
