The whole evening ist a disturbing signal, with really sensational effects, stirring up facts we don´t want to know about ourselves. We cast a spell over you and take you with us to the most interesting journey ever: Come and meet Boris Vian, one of the most touching and extraordinary french writer, who´s texts fill up your mind with a tremendous amount of senses of pleasure.Boris Vian came in many forms… Jazzologist, Engineer, Hard Boiled Translator, Soft Boiled Surrealist, Linguist, Singer, Trumpeter, Prisoner, Columnist, Novelist, Artist ... He lived fast and left a beautiful corpse d'esprit.Boris Vian celebrated his extraordinary imagination and astonishing facility with language with a disorganised career of writing, playing music, fixing old cars, throwing and attending parties and attacking any form of pretention or bureacracy.
Help yourself! Read Boris Vian! You´re welcome! Vive la pataphysique!

The audience perceives the songs of the last century on the proscenium stage within the greatest possible distance of the uppermost and very back theatre balcony. Great emphasis lies on the production of images, that have their full effect only from the birds perspective. The embedment in a sourround-environment intensifies the theatrical play of closeness and distance.

"Strangely, only one minute from here, only one minute from here. The
connections over land are long- to stooped the curves, the airways shorter, but
all skies are deaf. We never opened the first bottle before half past six. Somebody
came over by the boat, another brought potatoes in the backpack. "

Symposium october 27th - 29th 2006, Gießen||||||||||
Scratches and blur.||||||||
|||||||||||approach towards an aesthetic of the imperfect.

The scratch unites wound and tool - ice-scraper and abrasion are methods of revealing the surface. This is marked as such, opens itself while staying undissolved.
The blur names units of space and time that negate and maintain the surface at the same time. In its scattered nature, the blur refers to the plane surface, endangers the matter and, in its vagueness, also protects it. The blur creates measurement just as the measurement creates blur.
Scratches and blur are not limited by the medium - as a scratch in space, a blur in narration, a scratch in time and a blur in perspective, they suspend conventional relationships and allow for new conditions. Their effect is immediate. The gap and permeability of the artworks surface becomes intended provoked, it occurs through scratches - the questioning of the surface emphasises its performativity.||||||||||||||||||||

The work of art can be experienced through scratches and blur, through cords in films, the noise and crackling in recordings or through cracks and fissures in pictures.
How deep must a scratch be to be perceptible? How deep does it have it be to attack the identity, but not integrity, of an artwork? How many scratches can an artwork take? Do they enable authenticity, or do they brand its creation? What are the modes of operation, under what conditions do caesura and fractures appear?Can errors be directed, or is any production of mistakes a strategy to keep them at bay? Does the increased establishment of strategies of the incomplete stand for the decline of systematic utopia, or are new ideals for a post-sovereign ability to act able to emerge?||||||||||||||||||||||

exkurs->d i s k u r s 0 7 is a preceding symposium to the d i s k u r s 0 7 that is dedicated towards the questions surrounding scratches and blur. Doctorates, students and young artists out of a variety of fields will investigate these terms through lectures and artistic work. The approach towards scratches and blur should be carried out interdisciplinary in the reflection of various media and socio-cultural phenomena, by focusing on various (unfocused) details in order to attempt a preparation for an aesthetic of the imperfect. The examining of the artistic and academic work process is of importance, especially in its relationship between theory and practice. exkurs-> sees itself as a network of young artists as well as academic newcomers. We aspire towards a continuing discussion with regards to d i s k u r s 0 7.|||||||||||||||||||||||||

"As a boy Mike went blind after playing with chemicals on an industrial area. Since 2002 he has been cured of his blindness: A microchip implant replaces the damaged retina and is constantly sending light signals to his portable computer. The computer converts the data of Mike’s eye and sends electric signals to his nervous system. On the computer, these signals and pictures are storable." On april 6th, we´ll make them visable.

Material: Discussion with the life situation in the biggest student city of Germany, the former Olympic village in Munich. 
A very pressed private living space: single-plastic ready made appartment from a piece poured, like the toilets of German railways. Remind at animal boxes. On 11 square metres in a 10 floors high building with 25 parties on a hall. 
On the stage: a culinary line. The play took place as much as possible in the space of upper cupboards and undercupboards. –
