2009_"Dass es so weitergeht, ist die Katastrophe!"

The concept of progress is to be found in the idea of catastrophe. That things go on as they are is the catastrophe. It is not what is imminent but what has already been fulfilled. Deliverance follows a small leap forward in the continuous catastrophe. Thus Strindberg (in "To Damascus"): "Hell is not that which is imminent, but this life here."

Inspired by Benjamin's phrase, eight artists realize diverse interventions in Public Space in Graz. These interventions/performances will be documented; the originating works will be installed at ESC. The performance program is in constant changing process and updated regularly at http://esc.mur.at/. From Sept 24th to Oct 7th, ESC is worklab, development center, meeting point, and open to the public. The new art pieces are shown in the exhibition, opening on Oct 9th at 7.30pm.
