“sympathy for the devil”, 2006. videoclip, DVD single channel, 6.22 mins

“Sympathy for the devil” is a videoclip for the song of the Rolling Stones reissuing the thematics raised by the song in the present.
All footage for this videowork is found and taken from the web.
The web takes the parallel function of a “Pandora´s box” and a “catalogue of human obsessions” for this videowork.
This term first issued by Duchamp, ment in a sense of “designing a catalogue, which could display and fulfill any kown human obsession”)
is the leitmotif for this videowork, which can both be shown in screenings or as single work (looped)
A work about human desire and the contemporary image semantics, an intentional story told with images
trying to grasp into the time “after the end of history” (Fukuyama)

The project is being realized since October 2006. First recording sessions are already completed.
The presentation of the new recording is planned as an opening in the form of a record release party.


description

After being busy with playing piano for 15 years myself, and by that, being busy with the classical music literature most of that time either, I became aware, that I would start to interprete the music I was busy with on the piano by whistling it.
Since I stopped having fascination with the classical piano literature and its constant repetition on the piano a few years ago, the only thing that is left apart from listening to it are the whistled interpretations.
Due to the yearlong „practice“ of whistled interpretations a similar character developed than it is reached by a yearlong practice on another instrument.
Now I am ready to provide a substantially new and authentic interpretation of Bach by bringing his music from the concert hall to the street level.

As John Cage, I find „a piece of Chopin sounding from a half-opened window mixed with street sounds“ far more interesting than its interpretation in a concert hall.
I like the idea of bringing such a complex piece of music to a sort of „street-level“ and to try to rejuvenate the interpretational concept of classical music within a work of contemporary art.
The cover and the displays will adopt the visual style of the CBS-Classical- covers of the 70ties-80ties. It will feature a portrait photograph of Andreas Templin done by an internationally well known photographer in this area.

There were 150 artists contributing work. The D Band came from Berlin to play especially on the opening night.
Wheelie made a stop in London on their tour across Europe, which started in Berlin and finished in Glasgow. Work was exhibited inside Wheelie (photos here later). Again the event was well attended, a good time was had by all that could find it.
Critics and galleries were in attendance.The show ran for four weeks." Quoted from the no longer existing website viewingclub.org

RE-ESCAPE, Hamburg/Germany


11.11.- 27.11. re-escape.com



"In November 2005, there will be installations, sculptures, exhibitions and actions as well as films in different places of the city of Hamburg. The participants are young artists from Hamburg and internationally acknowledged artists.

Spaces which appear strange to the normal user of the city or which have withdrawn from his disposal, or where overfunctionalized regimentations of use imply latent manipulation, mesures and concepts put in concrete terms are practised for general re-vitalization and prevention of town planning faux-pas. Furthermore, different anti-regression mechanisms, exploit left-overs of quality of life, exit scenarios, utopian wrong tracks and inner migration schemes will lead to camp building in urban space."

Participating artists included: John Bock, Manfred Pernice, Luke Fowler and many others.
My work was part of the presentation of Viewing Club held in a bar at the Elbterrassen.
