Dear all, Last week, we had the pleasure of meeting at MQ to familiarize ourselves with the stage and setting for the upcoming Perforative Kunst Summer Show 2024 – how exciting!
As time is always ticking, it's best to start sooner rather than later. We highly recommend visiting the venue to spend some time thinking, exploring, and trying out ideas for the summer showcase. During our visit, Verena Kasper-Eisler sparked a discussion on the various types of labor taking place at MQ. Additionally, during our trip to Seestadt, we delved into topics such as gentrification and the commercialization of urban areas, aiming to uncover layers beyond the surface of the well-established art hub that is MQ.
Next week, on the 30th, there will be no class meeting. Instead, please utilize this time to rehearse at MQ. And rehearse!!
On Tuesday, May 7th, we will meet at 10:00 at MQ. We'll engage in space exercises to explore and share experiences. Additionally, we encourage everyone interested in participating in the Summer Showcase to come prepared to tryout a first draft of their ideas. Show us your ideas! And start performing!
We are also having a special guest, Daniela Grabosch, a member of the curatorial board from "The Others Artfair" in Turin. We will talk about a possible co-operation between the Artfair and our departement. Daniela, an artist herself, navigates between digital and physical mediums in her performative practice. She is also an alumna of our department.(https://www.theothersartfair.com/en/curatorial-board/)
We look forward seeing you soon! Best, Carola, Stefanie, and Andrea
