EPISODE TRANSCRIPT
12ø was a collective motivated by interesting processes rather than shiny exhibitions. We created projects that exploit the gaps in our knowledge and our eagerness to learn.
We strove to create a programme that promoted, challenged, and encouraged artistic practice in all its manifestations rather than scoring points for the CV. For us to do this, it was paramount that we had an open, flexible, and supportive approach, catering to artists' development and their individual needs.

eva is a third of the group formally known as 12ø. They are a quasi artist/designer in Berlin but still make works that prod their definitions of 'aspiration', 'cheating', through bootleg kopfkino props.
