!!!SPECIAL HAASE & PLANKK APPEARANCE!!!

Haase & Plankk are also going to show photographs of live and staged performance work in collaboration with Petrov Ahner, who has been documenting the performers as solo artists or as the duo since April 2010.

Haase&Plankk:
…”We dont really know what we are gonna do- but we gonna give it all.”…

Text Haase&Plankk Solo Show 2010/11:

Haase&Plankk: Berliner Künstlerinnen-Duo, Performance-Doppel, Installations-Zweifaltigkeit. Seit drei Jahren arbeiten sie regelmäßig zusammen, furios und faszinierend, zart und rücksichtslos, heiter bis wolkig. Ihre Bilder, auch ihre Raum- und Körperbilder speisen sich aus der Spontaneität, aus den Einfällen, die sie sich gönnen und die ihre Arbeiten in eine zuvor nicht bestimmbare Entwicklung treiben. Das kann sehr komisch sein, verleugnet aber auch nie das eigene Leiden. Sie wissen, dass die Welt seit jeher in Scherben liegt. Haase&Plankk sind Existenzialistinnen im bunten Kostüm.

English version:

Haase&Plankk: artist couple, performance duo, installation duality. Since three years the Berlin based women have been working together continuously: furious and fascinating, tender and ruthless, bright or overcast. Their images and figures derive from curbed spontaneity, unspoiled perspectives and indeterminable changes, which may be comic but never miss the feeling of suffering and loss in life. Haase&Plankk are existentialists in a fancy costume.

Die Scholle 3 is the third part of the 3 part performance series “Die Scholle”/ “The clod” by Miriam Wuttke

 Notion:
“The location at gallery xpon-art was the basement of a former slaughterhouse at Münzviertel in Hamburg. The animal I held in my pocket was the heart of a lamb my turkish butcher in Neukölln wanted me to perform with. Orvar Natur, Berlin based sound artist and emerging visual artist, provided the sound he creates on the base of notes he takes right before the show in his little black magical note book, considering site, space, gestures, textures, concepts and thoughts. His deep and intuitive music carries the expression and embraces my gestures like I embrace the animal mind. It was a sad and mysterious pleasure.”
