Enfants Terribles (artists)

They met while students at the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg and have since produced a number of joint exhibitions and public actions in Germany, Denmark and Austria under the name "Enfants Terribles".

[8] In the year 2014 the performance artists put in Hanover seven little artificial figures called "The Seven Matveys" with colored hats in front of the Nana sculptures of Niki de Saint Phalle: The Admirer, The Critic, The Know-It-All, The Devotee, The Sceptic, The Tourist and The Destroyer.

[8] The method for producing these works is: inkjet prints of photographs of previous exhibitions or performances on recycling paper, collage interventions carried out by Nana Bastrup, and pencil drawings added by Matvey Slavin are united in prints on PVC tarp, leaving color test patterns visible on the bottom and side margins.

[14] In the exhibition Popdada in Berlin 2016 Bastrup and Slavin showed a selection of popdadaistic works: Laufbilder (motion pictures), Mauerwerke (masonry) and video sculpture Dada Child, Little Brother 2014-2016.

[15] In an interdisciplinary project, Matvey Slavin and Nana Bastrup collaborated as ENFANTS TERRIBLES, creating the so-called Laufbilder as digital tapestries and video sculptures.
