Curated by: Jens Hoffmann
The project offers a
unique opportunity to re-experience and analyze a
series of classic
performances as a number of international artists from a
younger generation
have been invited to re-enact important performances from
the 1960s and 70s.
The reenactments comprise open copies based on original
documentation (film,
photographs as well as written and oral statements),
interpretations of the
original performance, co-operations with the original
artist and entirely new
works, which are only loosely based on an older
performance. While the
performances will take place on Friday and Saturday
(Saturday repetition of
the previous evening), the third evening will be
dedicated to a panel
discussion for the evaluation of the project.
Participants of the panel are
the artists of A Little Bit of History
Repeated, Dorothea von Hantelmann, a
freelance curator and critic and Jens
Hoffmann. The aim of the project is to
analyze the fundamental characteristics
of performance art and its
relationship to the art object and the idea of the
archive, as well as to
explore questions of method, techniques, development,
movement, authorship,
conservation and documentation.
Following the panel discussion and based
on the idea of the project A Little
Bit of History Repeated, the performance
class Abramovic of the Hochschule
für Bildende Künste, Braunschweig, will
perform a number of performances,
which have been created during a seminar
led by Marina Abramovic and Jens
Hoffmann.
Accompanying the project a
bilingual, German-English publication will be
published, comprising texts by
Jens Hoffmann and the individual artists.
(Published by Kunst-Werke in
collaboration with Edition Valerio,
Paris/Berlin. 80 pages, DM
9,-).
The project has been realized thanks to the generous support of the
Allianz
Kulturstiftung, Munich, and the Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz,
Berlin.
