One approach" - organized by Anita Beckers in collaboration with the Institute Mathildenh�he in Darmstadt - we would like to pick up the thread again in the gallery and through selected positions question the current situation of Performance as an artistic medium. In a moment when the art market regenerates, artists whose work deals with one's own body and is commercially difficult, seem to trigger new critical discourses. "... .. The non-ambiguity and vagueness of the term [Performance] corresponds almost programmatically to a developing form of expression, which through one or another specific performance always ascertains enhancement. If one follows the development of its history through the body-related performance of the 70s, one comes to a, preserved until today, fundamental rebellious attitude, which could be traced back to the actions, happenings and events of 60s (Fluxus) and to the actions of the Dadaists in the 20s. Critical, anarchist, individualist, often multimedia and communitarian, Aesthetical utterances were developed against fragile and questionable cultural and social conventions. Thus today performance refuses in most cases to be an easily consumable art commodity ..." (Vollrad Kutscher, 1992) For the season start, Performance // Frame tries to pick up some thematic directions within Performance art and confront positions from the 70s with younger artists. In this context we feature works by Ulrike Rosenbach and Vollrad Kutscher, who already participated in the 1994 symposium. As a group show, Performance // Frame does not explore one concept of performance, as each artist works on a very own subjective concept, but rather looks into the richness of performative processes. As every other exhibition, it can only offer an incomplete snapshot of the artistic development of this medium in recent years. Despite this, three directions seem to stand out of the entire exhibition. Namely, women performers concerned with Post-feministic issues, performers concentrated essentially on body and space issues - with strong focus on the measurement of space through one's body - and finally, a direction which relates more with the stage and linguistic tradition. To what extent do the technical recording possibilities of the works redefine the notion of performance is a scientific question which we want to pursue in an artist talk conducted by Prof. Dr. Christian Janecke with J�rgen Klauke in the gallery space. Performance // Frame represents though an attempt to understand and give performance art more attention, and will lead to a new symposium next year.
