Performance by appointment Knebl Mata Kargl

On the last evening of the series performance by appointment by Georg Kargl Fine Arts, Jakob Lena Knebl and das_em (Markus Pires Mata), dance music is brought to its peak performance in a performance that beats heartbeats and beats to the max when the bass reaches 130 beats up to 190 beats per minute (BPM). Stormy. The performance raises the question of the interconnectedness of art, music and technology in today's awareness-raising and its impact on identity. In a hardcore rave experience, the two artists tear and destroy the polite and stylized idea that was born in the early 2000s, that every artist / curator is a DJ. Knebl and das_em also remind us that art can mean a good time.

In KETAMIN KNEBL (das_em remix), Jakob Lena Knebl and das_em create a site-specific performative space in the gallery Georg Kargl Fine Arts. They combine and interlink elements that are familiar with club or rave scenes (breaking the usual silence of a gallery) and blend together dynamically: techno-music sound clips, spatial-temporal and visual fragmentation flashing and flashing Smoke machine generated, and a abgespacete visualization by Polaroid snapshots from the audience (to dance) recorded collapsing affects that create gaps between past and present, absence and presence and the imaginary and the real. In the artists' video work, both dance to music as they remember the heyday of their generation in the 1990s - with images of clubs like the vault playing in their heads - and a time when one could dance There would be no tomorrow. Of course, tomorrow has come for all of us, and the move back to the gallery space and the reorientation of techno in a constructed and contextual situation makes us wonder what music and its scene are and where their politics lie. KETAMIN KNEBL will make us blink after two hours wondering what has just happened (?), Just as it did when we stumbled back into the light after a long club night.
