Mindpirates present TABLEAU VIVANT: 18 atmospheric reflections on beauty by Mike Hentz - Ausstellung Berlin

Ausstellung Kunstverein Mindpirates e.V.

For the MONTH OF PERFORMANCE ART – BERLIN, Mike Hentz creates an installation of 200 square metres surface area as the centerpoint of his performance in the Mindpirates Backyard. The performance itself – a chaotic cacophony of colour, music, scents, objects and action – invites the audience to discover the core idea and script.

Except the name Tableau Vivant, Mike Hentz performances evoke little association with the historical definition of Tableaux Vivants – those live depictions of famous paintings or sculptures made popular in the late 18. century. Hentz works are more of a process-oriented happening and pool of existential test arrangements.

Participants:

Matsuyama Yuko, Pipe Lange, Sergey Kleyn, Karen Boehne, Melanie Marx, Daniel Herrmann, Veronika Schuhmacher, Daniel Nechvatal, Gerard Couty, Rotraut Pape, Jennifer Mulinde, Nina Vitanova, Ninon Liotet, Kissing Couples, Cynthia Iurinic, Mike Hentz and the Mindpirates.
