In the process-oriented project Zobl/Schneider use artistic and scientific means and methods. [„dialogue interventions”, conversations, interviews, collections of material, performances, videos, installations and texts.] 'The Legend of the Artist' wants to intervene in definition processes as well as enabling artists to reflect about their own role in society. The TV Documentation 'Cafe Carina' will be shown to demonstrate consequences of this strategy, working “as artists” in the social sphere.
