Andrea Knobloch - Metaphysik ist Maennersache (Metaphysics is a men's thing)
reading, with pictures, Sunday November 14, 2004, 7 pm

Isabelle Graw beschreibt in ihrem Buch »Die bessere Haelfte« Kuenstlerinnen unter anderem als besonders begabt auf dem Feld der Appropriation. Die Lesung von Andrea Knobloch ueberprueft diese Behauptung im Selbstversuch. Sie eignet sich fragmentarisch von der Autorin Graw an Kuenstlerinnen adressierte Zuschreibungen an und konfrontiert sie mit Repraesentationen von Kuenstler/innen in einschlaegigen Printmedien. Ueber den Grad der Gelungenheit dieser »Aneignung« bzw. die Schnittmenge der gezeigten mit realen Verhaeltnissen waere dann zu diskutieren.

(In her book >>Die bessere Haelfte<< (The better half) Isabelle Graw describes female artists as especially gifted in the field of Appropriation. Andrea Knobloch investigates this assertion in her reading in a self-trial. She adopts fragments of the attributes Graw adresses at female artists and confronts them with representations about male and female artists in the relevant print-media.)

»Metaphysik ist Maennersache«: Title of a photo-series by Anna and Bernhard Blume

Therese Schult - Alles fuer die Gans / All for the Goose
Sunday December 5, 2004, 7 pm

Hinter einer selbstbewussten Behauptung verbirgt sich ein teilnehmender Blick.
Lesung? Hand aufs Wort! / Behind a confident assertion a sympathizing view is concealed.
Reading? Cross my word and hope to die!

Therese Schult recites her poetic text in front of the Nicole Eisenman pictures. She talks to Nicole and to and about her work and finishes with a projection on the ceiling: >>I wrote a road through the forest<<
