Project direction: theater & kunst: das Schaufenster

In Europe since the early 1990s a dynamic field of artistic body work has
established itself, whose protagonists have engaged themselves in 
redefining
dance and performance art. In many western and also eastern 
European cities
young scenes and independent projects have emerged. What they 
share is an
interest in conceptual art formats and a scepticism regarding the 
established
institutions in the dance and theatre field.
With over 40 speakers the inventory: dance and performance congress 
for the
first time brings together leading figures from theory and practice in 
these new
movements to an analysis and presentation of their work. 
Performances and art
interventions by Jérôme Bel (F), Július Koller (SK), Maja Bajevi_ (BIH/F) 
and
Cezary Bodzianowski (PL) accompany the panel programme.

Performance

Fri. 4/ Sat. 5 March 20.30
Tanzquartier Wien / Halle G

JÉRÔME BEL (F)
JÚLIUS KOLLER (SK)
MAJA BAJEVI_ (BIH/F)
CEZARY BODZIANOWSKI (PL)


JÉRÔME BEL (F)
Nom donné par l’auteur

Concept: Jérôme Bel
Performance: Jérôme Bel, Frédéric Seguette

A stool, a vacuum cleaner, a flashing light, a pack of salt, a French
dictionary, a bank note, a pair of roller-skates, a plastic ball, a rug and a
hairdryer: 10 objects become the material for the cult performance by 
the French
choreographer Jérôme Bel. In this "theatre of things" or "ballet of the 10
objects" Bel, together with Frédéric Seguette, moves the objects 
according to a
fixed plan. Amusingly and with a wink, the approaches of the historical
avant-garde are deconstructed.

With the support of the Direction Régionale des Affaires Culturelles
d’Ile-de-France-Ministčre de la Culture et de la Communication and 
AFAA.

JÚLIUS KOLLER (SK)
UTOPISCHE FUTUROLOGISCHE OPERATION (U.F.O.)
[Utopian Futuristic Operation]

Concept: Július Koller
Performance: Július Koller

Since the beginning of the 1960s the Slovak Július Koller (*1939) has 
been
working on an oeuvre that in its stringency, obsession and uniqueness 
should be
regarded as one of the most uncompromising settings of European 
contemporary
art. Koller produces performative balancing acts, which he calls
"anti-happenings". He unmasks the imperative that art is there to 
decode a deep
truth about us, our bodies and our culture, and replaces it with a 
performative
act: engagement rather than arrangement . . .


Maja Bajevi_(BIH/F)
Avanti Popolo

Concept: Maja Bajevi_
Performance: Maja Bajevi_

Maja Bajevi_lives and works in Paris and Sarajevo as a performer and 
visual
artist. Alongside works in which Bajevi_works on her own specific 
identity,
there are always projects reflecting the situation in her homeland in 
former
Yugoslavia. In her recent performances – such as Avanti Popolo (2002) 
–
Bajevi_has expanded this perspective to the context of a globalised 
world – she
finds her material in the "warehouses" of many different cultures and
ideologies. "With Avanti Popolo she began to cross the border: Twenty 
patriotic
songs sung together, side by side, show that in the end the only thing 
they
produce is aggression." (Dunja Bla_evi_).


CEZARY BODZIANOWSKI (PL)
SCH-MERZ

Concept: Cezary Bodzianowski
Performance: Cezary Bodzianowski

The performance artist Cezary Bodzianowski, born in Poland in 1968, 
comes from
the creative arts collective of the Warsaw Foksal Gallery and has 
created a stir
with his unusual and unexpected interventions and actions in various 
forms
(objets trouvés, tableaux vivants or happenings). This time, in homage 
to the
Dadaist Kurt Schwitters, Bodzianowski is attempting to "get rid" of the 
pain in
various places in the city. The length of the performance in the TQW / 
Halle G
will depend on the intensity of the stimulus the artist and the recipient 
feel .
