SCHMUCK 2018, Munich, EXIT with Dialogue Collective

Welcome to the Dialogue Collective independent micro-Nation of Temporaria.

Of no fixed abode, borderless and rootless, Temporaria is a tumbleweed micro-nation without political alignment. Looking neither left nor right, looking neither backwards nor inwards and especially not down the nose, the international jewellers of Dialogue Collective have decreed that other views and directions are required.

In Temporaria citizens and tourists alike are encouraged to look forward, upward and outward with peculiar intensity in order to look at the overlooked, to see the previously unseen and to cross previously inaccessible borders.

To that end, Dialogue Collective invites you to visit the inaugural pop-up Embassy of Temporaria, to marvel at the state jewels, to revel in the slightly ridiculous and meander through the metaphysical. Relish the respite from florid faced, strangely coiffed, pointy-shoed, brazenly bumptious, paralysed politicians whilst engaging with the Dialogue Collective's response to EXIT.

For this exhibition, I was promoted "Head of Good taste". I decided to produce a series of good taste Badges, a good taste necklace, I made myself a good taste uniform and designed a quizz that allowed visitors to be granted an ACCEPTED or REJECTED sticker according to the results of the test.
