About the
Project

Memories of Christoph Schlingensief's "Grazer Aktionen" were confronted with selected projects by current artists by the aid of archive material, photos and movies.


Commemorating

Christoph Schlingensief would have celebrated his 60th birthday in October had he not passed away far too early in 2010. This autumn marked not only his milestone birthday, but also the 10th anniversary of his death.

To mark the occasion, Forum Stadtpark gathered archive materials, photos and films commemorating Schlingensief's actions in Graz between 1995 and 2008 and juxtaposed them with selected projects by contemporary artists in the form of talks, performances, videos and objects.

With contributions, photos, materials, films, works and performances by Christoph Schlingensief, Bettina Böhler, Jan Böhmermann, Didi Bruckmayr, Sibylle Dahrendorf, Die Vielen, Manfred Erjautz, Elisabeth Fiedler, Bernhard Fleischmann, Jana Franze, Christine Frisinghelli, Hermann Glettler, Elke und Udo Havekost, Ed Hauswirth, Werner Krause, Claus Philipp, PlanetenPartyPrinzip, HC Playner, Paul Poet, Katharina Purtscher, Oliver Ressler, Jörg Schlick, Franz Solar, Gerhild Steinbuch, Kinga Tóth, Raul Walch, Patrick Wurzwallner.
