Die Weltanschauungsbeauftragten (≈ the ones in charge of looking at the world), Philipp Moll & Martin Fuerbringer united in 2006, after an exhibition they did together. While manufacturing a model of a small allotgarden out of trash material, eagerly listening to Harry Belafonte and not saying one single word to each other, they decided they were made for one another.

Since then the two fine artists did a lot of shows, interventions and wannabe-silly things. Both of them being almost 40 years old, protestant and somewhat educated, they enjoy a common studio, clichée- like one would expect it- amongst deserted industrial sites and devasteted collegues. They are heartily hated by their neighbours as their liking for very bad noisy and/or greasy music as well as for loud `n´dirty political speeches indicates their obvious loath for everything that is not honest and worthless. Their research in almost all matters makes them targets for envy. As they work stubbornly on in what catches their interest without even considering if it may pay off in any sense in any virtual future, they are bluntly invulnurable in both - physical & spiritual aspects. Last but not least they are heavy weights when it comes to the invention and proliferation of their personal legends and myths, which leaves them a pair of dirty liars.

Nevertheless they managed to start the vote-drunk-campaign (www.betrunken-waehlen.de) in 2009, dug out the real life of the existential artist Heiner Schwitzke (1888-1969) honouring him with the very 1st retrospective worldwide this summer, abused (if verbally) IKEA in an absolutely intolerable way in 2008 (German & English), nailed antique smelly wallpaper to walls, ceiling & floor of an exihibition chambre, after having sold civil rights copies via the net in 2007, to mention but a few deeds.

Mostly they can be found playing the „Happy Cop/Sad Cop“- thing.
