Are You Meaning Company

Two Getting Along Projekt, since 2001

Are You Meaning Company pursues the ‘change of tiny parts of life’ with interactive projects. Two Getting Along (project since 2001) is an offer inviting you to think about the design of life together in a spirit of friendship or partnership. The project provides means that enable people to occupy themselves with the intimate, social space of an apartment: drawings showing simple floor plans of fictitious single-room apartments for ‘friends’ and ‘lovers’, pens, a total of 100 already completed drawings, leaflets, a DVD, a table and chairs. The imaginary apartments for ‘friends’/’lovers’ are doubly furnished, differing ‘only’ by the side-by-side arrangement of bed and bathtub for the lovers. Two Getting Along does not aim at changing the efficiently designed utility value of an apartment, though. The project provides a model interior in which two ‘living egos’ meet; these interpret each other and do one thing more than anything else: they nail their colors to the mast in that they add their colors – full of psychological impact – to the drawings.
