The mul­tis­to­rey car park be­ne­ath the Kunst­hal­le is a place whe­re of­fice wor­kers, ope­rago­ers, mu­se­um vi­si­tors, Kom(m)ödchen au­di­en­ces, old town brow­sers and tou­rists cross paths. Now, Mar­lin de Ha­an is using this ur­ban space as a sta­ge for her per­for­mance art. She will be ex­plo­ring the an­ti-struc­tu­re in fa­mi­li­ar, es­ta­blis­hed sys­tems and po­si­tio­ning hers­elf and her work wi­t­hin this quo­ti­di­an set­ting. In four dis­tinct per­for­ma­ti­ve epi­so­des – IN, OUT, UP and DOWN – she will in­ter­act wi­th dai­ly li­fe in the car park, thus soun­ding out the ar­tis­tic po­ten­ti­al of this cen­tral lo­ca­ti­on.

Mar­lin de Ha­an is a fre­e­lan­ce di­rec­tor and ar­tist. She stu­died sculp­tu­re wi­th Ro­se­ma­rie Tro­ckel and re­gu­lar­ly per­forms at FFT Düs­sel­dorf.
