Irene Lucas and Christoph Euler work together as a team since 1996. Their work explores spaces for visual production and critical participation, including performative and playful elements. In 2004 they started the interdisciplinary project Supervision of Paradise, articulating different critical imaginaries around the sociocultural and ecological reality of the Costa Blanca.

In 2010 Irene Lucas co-organised the Supervivientes seminar with Ruby Sircar at the Technical University of Graz (A), and participated with the collective FO/GOLab in the design of the publication Mythemes (FO/GOlab, A, 2010) (www.themigratingmuseum.net ).
Since 2004, Christoph Euler has directed several short films with teenagers that tackle gentrification and intercultural issues for KulturKontaktAustria, among others. He currently co-operates with this association in the European project «artists in creative education» (www.christopheuler.at)
An exhibition project initiated by Irene Lucas and Christoph Euler, in co-operation with various European artists and initiatives.
The project formulates alternative formats of visual criticism on the socio-cultural and ecological realities of the residential tourism at the Costa Blanca.
Which imaginaries are cultivated by these new social dynamics, which produce at the same time new fragmentational geographies of exclusion and homogenisation of cultural landscapes?
Supervision of Paradise es una exposicion itinerante, iniciada en el año 2006 por Irene Lucas y Christoph Euler.
Esta iniciativa surge a raíz de un interés común por descifrar tramas visuales comprometidas con la realidad social y medioambiental de la Costa Blanca.
El espacio expositivo se transforma en un espacio de investigación que plantea un complejo de imágenes críticas concretas del híbrido rurbano.
Christoph Euler e Irene Lucas, residen en Viena y Alicante, han trabajado en colectivo desde 1999 en diversas exposiciones, talleres e intervenciones entorno al concepto de la economia del espacio público, entorno a contextos de migración, género e interculturalidad.
