With PLUS ONE, Melo Börner invites four performance artists to the Project Space Festival, who in turn have invited four more performance artists. In the Raum für drastische Maßnahmen, the audience can expect an open, experimental, and ever-expanding evening program. The performances take their cue from the exhibition space, which is dedicated to queer existence and punk aesthetics.
There, each of them brings their own stories to life: With a penchant for drama, Elena Louise Bastert Feuerhake moves between video, sound, and costume. Laura Dee Milnes creates short, pointed, and whimsical DIY performances. Caroline Beach creates performances that do not exist at the intersection of anything, but rather aim to practice the creation of meaning through the body and in collaboration with it. Jannis Weu and tender tantrum conjure a liminal being that murmurs suggestive, incomprehensible poems, writhes in contradictory poses, and glides across the boundaries of language and the body. Drawing on everyday observations, Jeiryung Lee and Chi-Hsuan Lo explore, through their respective forms of expression—text and sound—the feeling of “otherness” and what it means to not belong.
Over the course of the evening, a multifaceted, interconnected picture of collective and resistant practice emerges from and between the performances.
Raum für drastische Maßnahmen
Raum für drastische Maßnahmen (R) is an experimental exhibition space dedicated to creative processes and social relationships, committed to promoting tolerance, empathy, and self-empowerment. To counteract racism, sexism, and ecological and economic exploitation as negative and destructive forces of our time, the space offers a collaborative, non-commercial platform for contemporary aesthetics where creative ideas can be freely conceived, designed, and realized.
