„How to properly love/destroy something“

is a collaborative performance art project

of nine women artists from Estonia,

Austria and Germany.

Some of them work together for

the first time.

 

The artists present diverse approaches

towards their complex leading theme and

provide us an insight in contemporary

performance practices. The works deal,

amongst others with obsessive admiration,

deadly surprises, kissing until no point of

return, inflationary declarations of love or

a mystical contact with low-tech reality.

Simultaneously, „trash-plastic-punk-song“

forms a parallel space throughout the evening.

 

After its premiere at LABfactory on March 24th

in Vienna, „How to properly love/destroy

something“ will be presented at

friedrichstadtZentral in Dresden on March 27th

and finally on March 30th at Flutgraben e.V. in Berlin.

                                                                                                   

9 performances by 9 artists. “How to properly ...” comes out with themes:

love triangle, obsessive admiration, deadly surprises, fear of illness, kissing until no point of return,

how to make yourself not an idol, mystical contact with low-tech reality

and poetry about „The nail of the day.“ 

While TRASH-PLASTIC-PUNK-SONG is forming the parallel space of the event.

Julischka Stengele (D)

is a young German artist, currently working on her master degree at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. The body in its social context serves as a base for Stengele`s work. In her staged photographs and performances – which she herself refers to as living sculptures or participatory art – she often deals with the subject such as interpersonal relationships, closeness/distance, limits/overcoming and (female) body images and role models.http://www.julischka.eu/

Mai Sööt finds material from religion, relations and humanly craving for self-confidence, playing on comedy of embarrassment, while taking oneself too seriously. http://maisoot.blogspot.com/
