We invite you to listen to Saprophyt Radio Part Six Tuesday, 21. 12. 2010 17.30 - 18.00 Nathalie Koger presents: Exercises of suppleness The following excerpt is an insight into a talk of the members of the workshop „Between post-Fordism and political action: virtuosity in the 21st century“ staged for saprophyt on the 15th of October 2010 in Graz in the frame of steirischer herbst. The workshop was organized by Kai van Eikels with guest visits from Tino Sehgal and Jan-Holger Mauss. Members are Aline Benecke, Tatu Hämäläinen, Steffi Hensel, Nathalie Koger, Aino Emilia Korvensyrjä, Timothy Murray, Julie Pfleiderer, Markus Zett and Jasna Zmak. Before the audio-version starts the group discussed the idea of political action in art and of how art can become politically. An example, which was debated on, is Ligna (a group consisting of media and performance artists), which created a repetitive act called Radio Ballett, which shifts between flashmob, political theatre, actionism and city-entertainment. The Radio Ballet is entitled as „Exercise in lingering not according to the rules” (Übung im nichtbestimmungsgemäßen Verweilen): „A Radio Ballet is a radio play produced for the collective reception in certain public places. It gives the dispersed radio listeners the opportunity, to subvert the regulations of the space.“ http://ligna.blogspot.com/2009/12/radio-ballet.html, 1.12.10 In the talk further ideas and opinions are triggered and stated, for example on how we could think of art and theater being political today. Terms like „Geschmeidigkeitsübungen“ (exercises of suppleness) as part of Brecht´s Learning Play come into play to the point where the question is raised what a 21st century idea of change could be. What could it be instead of an artistic aspiration for changing the masses on the one hand or a radical individual perspective on the other hand. Coming back to the initial debate of the group: do we have to leave the legal boundaries of art and the act of exhibiting completely to create and enter a place of exodus where the desire apparatus for pure consumerism is abandoned? Thanks to Barbara Kapusta, Markus Boxler, Jan-Holger Mauss, Kira Kirsch, Stephan Lugbauer, Florian Malzacher and Tino Sehgal. Graz/Vienna 2010 ENJOY!
