ELIXIER

2015 ELIXIR – Do Thee Good / Social Sculpture and Intervention in public space / GAK Gesellschaft für Aktuelle Kunst / Bremen (D)

- anneli
An elixir, known as healing or magic potion is originally an extract of medicinal plants with various additives dissolved in wine or alcohol, of which a rejuvenating and/or life prolonging effect is attributed. For the Public Space exhibition ‘Im Inneren der Stadt – Inside the City’ at GAK Gesellschaft für Aktuelle Kunst dilettantin produktionsbüro creates ELIXIER that is offered at ten selected locations in Bremen for the duration of the exhibition. The formulation is individually composed in cooperation with the hosts to reflect one aspect of the place – thus ten different versions of a drink, that is called elixir, are being created.This medicinal potion is not listed on any menu, but can only be ordered by ‘Code Word: ELIXIER’. Based on the view that a work of art can possibly only by decrypted by the understanding of an underlying code, here the codeword functions in reverse as a key for initiating art. The only sign of this sepcial drink on offer is a mark that is put in each window showcase for the duration of the exhibition. Otherwise the place stays a commonplace, whether hairdresser, delicatessen or furniture store.

The drinks cost each between 3-7 Euro in relation to other services or goods of the shops. ELIXIER is served in a glass on a beer mat, which is signed and numbered. If the drink has been enjoyed, this remains the only relic of the work. The guest alone decides whether the coaster is transformed into a sign of the art work which took place in deciding whether the beer mat is being taken.
 
A map is being distributed in the exhibition space of the GAK, where all ELIXIER places are marked. The interested public thus spreads out over the city – starting in the institutional space, the GAK, and dispensing to the various participating public and semi-public places.

REFRESHMENT

2015 REFRESHMENT / social sculpture and performance / Public Space / Thealit Lab ordnung // struktur / Bremen (D)

- anneli
The Japanese para scientist and alternative physician Masaru Emoto (1943-2014) came from the assumption that water can memorize emotions and that these water clusters are as well responsible for the transmission of information in homeopathy. 
Water clusters are unstable, usually short-lived associations of water molecules into larger molecular networks. But how does this information transmit into the water?Today we know that the energy state of water depends on its cluster structure formed bymovement or stagnancy. The Austrian foresters and nature observer Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958) was one of the first to recognize that moving, swirling water features a higher quality. Lively water, also referred to as levitated, vitalized or highly structured water is that, for example, by swirling has been restored its “Original” fine structure as a “living” spring water. Only “Living Water” by Johann Grander (1930-2012) is able to energize and refresh the body. The Balm, as something that refreshes, eg. a cold drink or food, is the starting point for the work ERFRISCHUNG / REFRESHMENT. Flavors used in varying consistencies are: Grains / Goat Cheese / Rhubarb / Lemon / Asparagus / Woodruff.In relation to the current state of knowledge about water and its energizing the work opens a gustatory experience space as part of the series “Tu dir Gutes – Do Good To Yourself.”

DREIJAHRE DINING-ROOM PROJECT. A REFLECTION OF THE AESTHETIC OPPOSITE

FORMULATION, MARGINALITY AND POSSIBILITY. ON ANNELI KÄSMAYR’S ARTISTIC PRACTICE.

- anneli
By Elke Bippus
Art and life praxis – a prehistory 
“Into Production!” was the title of an article written in 1923 by Constructivist theorist Osip Brik; drawing on ideas by Alexander Rodchenko he set out to describe changes taking place in creative practice. [1]
As did a number of other Constructivist artists – Vladimir J. Tatlin, Varvara F. Stepanova or Lyuboy S.Popoya, for instance – with the end of the Russian Revolution Rodchenko ventured the leap into the Soviet mass production industry; the focus at the time being to transform what had formerly predominantly been an agricultural society into a modern industrialized nation. The Russian avant-garde movement’s contributions to social production came in the form of designs of objects for everyday use: kitchenware (Talin), clothing (Stepanova), or those destined to be the hubs of politicization in Russia, the working men’s club (Rodchenko).
