Gesamtkunstwerk 2012 will be a 'total artwork' that takes the form of a road trip across the United States by a troupe of international artists, musicians, photographers, writers, filmmakers, art directors, photo-retouchers, and performers. In the two years before the event, a series of exhibitions, events, gigs and talks will be presented to raise the profile of the trip and it's purpose to promote international exchange across multiple disciplines.
The first meeting about the project took place in front of the Guernica tapestry at Whitechapel Gallery in April 2010 (public meetings in Gallery 2 were part of Goshka Macuga's Nature of the Beast exhibition). Potential artists/collaborators were asked to attend to get initial information about the show.
