MIST is a ongoing collaborative project by Rebekka Bank (DK) and Tomás Ornaghi (IT) combining contemporary art, functional design and social practice.
Central to MIST is the question of authorship. The project emerged out of the need to rethink artistic work itself as a testing-site for various forms of collective making. It is a practice in co-imagining and co-inhabiting the world.
MIST revolves around interaction and exchange. Through material storytelling, audience activation and experimental dinners the project explore familiar social environments such as living rooms, kitchens, gardens and restaurants. By re-contextualising domestic objects, it investigates the historical, social and material infrastructures surrounding gatherings.
Simultaneously, MIST is a support system that collectively navigate through challenges within the creative field. Its vision is to further explore how shared structures and community among artists and designers can build a sustainable creative work life.
