This was really an experiment to see if I could fix a completely white, blown out sky on Photoshop. Hard to imagine that it was taken during the midst of autumn!

A fat belly, a lean brain? Let's investigate this expression and meet for a BRAIN BRUNCH in the MPA-Mensa and share a smoking introduction to the slippery road of artistic research, practice as research, research as practice, research through practice, art practice as research, performance as research, performative writing... This brunch will be in English, German, Latin and international food language.
*PART TWO: Starts at 15:00
COYOTE: THE BELIEF IN THE POWER OF THE INDIVIDUAL TO SOCIAL CHANGE // KOJOTE: DER GLAUBEN AN DIE KRAFT DES EINZELNEN ZUR GESELLSCHAFTLICHEN VERÄNDERUNG)
A close reading of a text on Joseph Beuys’s most famous performance, I Like America and America Likes Me, New York, May 1974 to mark its 40th anniversary. Written by Caroline Tisdall, this text is an attempt to capture the performance by Beuys in book form, published by Thames & Hudson in 2008. In reference to the original performance, we will put any potential meaning and valuation of the text at the mercy of the reader and every individual witness. The reading positions itself in stark contrast to the "objectivity" of sciences in order to discover how a text can function as a self-contained, self-referential aesthetic object. The reading will be held in English and is expected to last approximately 30 minutes.
*PART THREE: Starts at 16:00
PERFORMATIVITY AND THE FALLACY OF AMBIGUITY // PERFORMATIVITÄT UND TEUFELSKREIS IRRTÜM
Based on the premise that "belief" holds a central position within any performance art practice, we want to find out if this belief can be anything other than a hypothetical construction (abstraction). If the performance artist believes in the sensemaking experience of his/her action (creating a shared reality), and simultaneously holds his/her notion of belief as a pure hypothetical construction (abstraction), the performance (art) itself falls subject to the so called fallacy of ambiguity (Teufelskreis Irrtüm). This means that the artist is treating his/her hypothetical construction as a concrete thing - something which by definition an abstraction is not: it is merely an idea. The artist is thus confusing a model (abstract belief) with the real. The notion of the performative contradicts this argument and calls for a materialisation of belief. Here, the sensemaking experience of the artists' action (realitätsbildenden Aspekt // constituent quality of all performance art) is to be found in the mind of the witness through a reflection of the ephemeral nature of the performance. Accordingly, the performance is determined by the receiving side. This notion turns any belief held by the artist into a profane and trivial pursuit. The question remains as to how the notion of belief (including the central position it holds for performance artists) should be understood. The talk will be held in German and is expected to last approximately 90 minutes.

PERSONALLY, I'M MOST INTERESTED IN THE SHAPES AND COLOURS. LECTURE PERFORMANCE BY LUDOVIK VERMEERSCH.
A case study in performing abstraction, featuring works by Sarah Bal, Marc Bergson, Anna Ernst, Alexej Miroschnitshenko, Stella Pinson, Jens Presser, and Bohumil Rosendorf. Abstract art today is often seen as a disempowered category belonging to the past. It has lost its claims to utopian, ideological or spiritual content, and it has stopped identifying itself through the old antagonism with the figurative. Yet, formal abstract art remains noticeably alive and popular from the museum over to the gallery to the artist-run space. Does this mean it has become harmless and generally accepted, a kind of omnipresent ornament? Or are today´s strategies of abstraction still capable of eliciting strong responses? Ludovik Vermeersch, a writer and visual artist based in Berlin, has invited seven young abstract painters to be involved in a research project that tackled this very issue: how can abstract painting today manage to "perform abstraction" rather than just refer to it as to a historical fait accompli? A series of exhibitions was organised, in which the interactions of viewers with the artworks and the artists were recorded on video, in order to investigate their response to different approaches to abstraction – from those embracing the challenge to operate within the ornamental to those trying to transcend it. The lecture performance presents some of the project’s findings and proposes a way of revalidating abstraction as a strategy in art production today. The video recordings will be used to substantiate the claim that, by considering narrative as a crucial ally, it becomes possible to enhance the "performativity" of abstract paintings.
Duration: approx. 80 minutes, followed by a discussion (in English) between the curators Joel Verwimp and Teena Lange and the audience.
