Through their married life they discovered artistic value while searching for resolution for their disputes. Their works are models for looking at the tension in human relationships. They also project an awareness of ‘living together as an adaptation’ in the rapidly globalizing world that we live in. In 2010, they began a participation project called Dialogue. It is an ongoing collaborative drawing of Thai / Thai American couples who live in United States.

Isabelle Cornaro
Isabelle Cornaro was born in France in 1974. She attained degrees in Art History at the École du Louvre, Paris and in Visual Arts at the Fines Arts School of Paris. Her work is transdisciplinary (installations, sculptures and films) and includes the use of cultural objects and images (transposition of classical paintings, casts of kitsch domestic objects), sometimes relating to historical or political contexts. Often Cornaro’s work plays with issues such as systems of representation, commodity fetishism and the creative gesture.

Krüger & Pardeller
The objects of Krüger & Pardeller are perceived as constructive sculptures, architectural fragments or design objects. Due to tangible experience and deliberate ambiguity, viewers are encouraged to discover their own classifications and define the criteria for such distinctions consciously. Forms of presentation are questioned and the abstract, modular form is adopted as an interactive tool. Kruger & Pardeller are also curators and editors of Twilight Zone: Art Hits Design, and Undisciplined: The Phenomenon of Space in Art, Architecture and Design, Vienna/New York, 2008/2009.
