The artist curating team Markus Muntean and Adi Rosenblum organized thematic exhibitions in their studio, and created set designs which moderately influenced the art shown.
To create art (along with the others) instead of simply showing other artists is Muntean/Rosenblum?s mission.

During Strange Encounters Muntean/Rosenblum built three set design configurations into their large studio: an end time inundation scenario, the second placed garbage bags under a blue sky, the third a road in the desert. Altogether 23 artists, theorists, curators and art critics were invited to create videos with the help of the set designs: and although some of the selected artists had never dealt with the medium video or film to express their artistic wishes, the results showed interesting approaches to video from all invited participants.
