About FOURDUMMIES
2013, Waltraud Brauner, Peter Baur and Georg Klüver-Pfandtner formed the fictitious collective FOURDUMMIES. Based on the made-up 20-year collaboration of the group, the three members create formats located between fact and fiction and collaborating with other artists (e.i. Wilhelm Binder, Katharina Pizzera, Johanna Moder, Christoph Szalay, Lisa Schwalb, Stefan Beer). Since 2015 Waltraud & Georg are the core members. Their work is characterized by an process-oriented approach and questions authorship, agency, linear historiography and narrative through different formats e.g. interventions in public space, participatory events and happenings as well as stage shows.
About kunststoff
