STEFANIE SEIBOLD
“I Am Not Half the Man I Used To Be”
11/28/2009 – 01/09/2010
Opening: Friday, November 27th, 2009 from 6 – 9 p.m.
"Stefanie Seibold examines in her artistic work forms of social performativity and possibilities of its transformation and resignification. In live performances, video and sound pieces as well as (archival) installations Seibold rephrases influential rituals, gestures and speech acts that are applied to form subjects. She appropriates images and texts from the heterogeneous areas of the mainstream, subculture but also of the avant-garde and weaves them together in form of a subjective archive. Her interest aims at building spaces that question strategies of visibility as well as defer fixed areas of meaning in order to develop and provide new narrative structures."
