Performing Entities
Performance Art Symposium
Performing Entities presents current performances by artists of international standing, whose work will be addressed in a three-day programme of workshops and discussions. The symposium updates the dialogue on the blurred areas at the borders between subject and object, sculpture and performance, scientificity and subjectivity, language and body. Performing Entities observes the crossing lines between man and machine and enters the world of things and animals beyond the human.
The artists present non-academic proposals which position the performative state outside the bounds of any clear classification. Artist, observer and artwork revisit their relationship.
With Alex Bailey (UK), Luke Baio (UK), Dominik Grünbühel (AT), Anne Juren (FR/AT), Krõõt Juurak (EE), Hanne Lippard (GB), Michikazu Matsune (JP/AT), Shana Moulton (US), Rabih Mroué (LB), Andrea Spreafico (IT/NO), Kris Verdonck (BE) und Georg Winter (DE), invited by Peter Wendl (AdBK Nuremberg) & Arne Forke (director, dramaturge, producer, curator).
