Projectinfo

During the residency in Vienna I would like to develop some ideas, which are connected to a project started in 2014, dealing with the genre of performance-­lecture; a hybrid genre, which balances on the boundary between art and academia, incorporating some characteristics of artistic research, academic lecture, public speech and performative narrative techniques. In Vienna I'm planning to make some further research in the theoretical background of this genre, and I would like to map the Viennese art-­scene from this point of view; organize portfolio-­ meetings and discuss the possibilities of some new formats in performance art with artists and curators.
