Do you have someone to guarantee for you at the exhibition? Maybe you
are dangerously young or you might want to stay at the Kunstraum
Kreuzberg forever? Broke? Better be well prepared for the exhibition!
After many days of waiting in front of different EU Embassies to finally
be able to answer brutally private and from rather objective point of
view irrelevant questions – Sarajevo based artist Leila Cmajcanin in her
collaborative and highly interactive performance Welcome shares with us
emotions outlived and seen by herself at visa procedures.

JANA PREPELUH (Sl): Down to Earth (2007)
Based on her own experience as an artist without formal education, Jana
Prepeluh researches – via a shoe cleaning street action Down To Earth –
the attitude to non-material or manual work by overworked alienated
individuals in a society where work is still associated with social
status. By investigating different reactions – looking up to, or down
upon – the artist unintentionally brings out prejudices constructing the
subject's moral full of myth and fake assumptions.

Karasssuite: Performance with Ana Filip (RO/SK), Barbara Huber (AT/SK)
The karasssuite is a multidisciplinary project that allows for a variety
of artists from different backgrounds to collaborate on a complex media
piece based on quotes from 'Cat's Craddle' by Kurt Vonnegut (1963). The
pieces from the artists are being uploaded on the database and that is
the starting point for the performance - the database is used in a real
time situation as a source of material for the performance itself.
Menschen haben Krizen is a collective name for all the artists
participating in the project. This time Menschen haben Krizen are a!
visual chaosdroid (RO/SK),
b# (AT/SK) and joining in from Taipei Ana Threat (AT/CN).

Lady Gaby (RO/DE): 'From a tea lady into a sexfly'
An interactive spoken word performance that will start with a 'private
and intimate performance' in the public toilet inside Kunstraum
Kreuzberg /Bethanien House and travel into the Main Hall. Through spoken
word, electro beats and interactive actions, Lady Gaby will claim and
change her role from a tea lady, into a powerful 'SEXFLY', using
technological means that has liberated women such as vacuum cleaner,
typewriters, dildoes, tape recorders, slide projectors, and CD players.

Dj Set: Balkan beat, gypsy, klezmer, sevdah
DJane Spoma (HR/DE) is one of the first promoters of alternative Balkan
parties in Munich. Long before Europe was infected with Balkan beat
fever and even before Let 3 convinced us that there is something about
the pathos of "genuine pop-folk singers" à la Saban Saulic, Toma
Zdravković and - after all - also Hanka Paldum, DJane Spoma had punched
true "underground" arrows into the ears of the Balkan diaspora and fans
of former Yugoslavia.

Lili Bustard and Freak (Performance and Dj Set)
Hairstyling in electro tech house rythm
Lil Bustard aka Gog M (PL) (NoiseBand/me.ne.le/LuzZtro Club - Warsaw) -
the music preferences of Gosia Machnikowska - alias Goga M - were formed
during endless nights spent in (not only) Warsaw clubs. Fascinated by
all possible subtypes of techno - she decided to stand the decks
herself in the middle of 2004. In 2005 she fall in love with electro.
She start laying electro-house and eventually exploring the harder
types of the genre. The music she plays today can be summarized as
"electro-tech-porno-house". Together with Ania Orzechowska they are
making a party called "Hersprey" were Ania is styling hair of some
people and Lil is DJing in the same time.
