Architecture, Fine Arts, Street Art
In her most recent work, Pia Habekost collaborates with adNAU's Tino Schaedler to translate the typographic explorations of her paintings into large scale urban sculptures nestled between street art and site specific land art. The sculptures are woven into surfaces of existing architecture like 3d graffiti. Through subtraction and addition, the typographic swarms oscillate between ornament and built form transforming its context.
