»LANDREFORM Carousel«, 2008, by Matthias Einhoff, Philip Horst, Markus Lohmann, Harry Sachs and Daniel Seiple. Eight BMWs drive in a slow perfect circle, “This Land Is Your Land” by Woody Guthrie is playing on their radios – remixed for an amusement ride sensation. The cars, roped together like a carousel, circle like an auto display or western wagon train. Every couple rounds the drivers systematically stopp to pick-up and drop-off spectators and riders. Just before dusk, a fire is lit inside the circle.
On January 28th, 2008, Janez Janša, Janez Janša, and Janez Janša performed »Signature Event Context« at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, a walking action in the corridors of the Memorial. Each one of them, equipped with a GPS device, covered a different path within the Memorial’s structure this way, together assembling a common signature visible only in the internet. During the performance artists continuously repeated “Jaz sem Janez Janša, Jaz sem Janez Janša, Jaz sem Janez Janša…” (“My name is Janez Janša”). »Signature Event Context« at the Holocaust Memorial puts together 3 concepts (signature, event and context) from Derrida’s essay in complex relation; signature itself is an event which re-contextualizes the site of signature. The performance scheduled for the opening of TRANSMEDIALE.08 the 29th of January 2008 at 8.30 pm at the foyer of the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, Germany, was conjunctively cancelled by the director of transmediale Stephen Kovats and the Guest-Curator Nataša Petrešin-Bachelez. Consequently, Janez Janša, Janez Janša and Janez Janša rescheduled the date of the action performing on January 28, 2008 at 00.01 am. Watch the performance.
Something New is an informal art event that requires no budget or institution or anything apart from the will of the participants. Deadline is 5th november, the day of the event, but don’t wait for the last minute!
