The four artists in the collective YOVO! YOVO! met during their studies at Hochschule für bildende Künste, in Hamburg. They were drawn together by their common interests: a dedication to exploring space and place as well as their own roles and representations. Previous partial collaborations have involved film, theatre and performance, reflecting a strong mutual interest in narratives, people and translation.
YOVO! YOVO! was part of Sharjah Biennial 11
This catalogue accompanied Sharjah Biennial 11.
The long-term project , YOVO! YOVO!’s first collective work, draws on the theorist Timothy Mitchell’s concept of 'enframing'.
