Michael Meier & Christoph Franz
work as an artist duo in Zurich. Places and their social, historical and political background are the starting point of their artistic practice. In careful, research-based processes the artists appropriate these places and refer to them with conceptual works. Their thematic focus is on the city both as a concrete field of interaction and as a space for thought.
Michael Meier & Christoph Franz deal with the processes of change in our built environment. They use specific approaches to negotiate the sediments of the urban, question its development and set it in motion.
