NO IMAGE (Kein-Bild)
Scores for performing spectators
prints

With No-Image, scores for performing spectators I started a series of images for gallery walls, which are only accomplished after the (inter-)action of the respective spectator.

The scores offer instructions of how to interpret the graphics and execute little choreographies before going on to the next art work (of the gallery or in the series itself).

No-Image questions the roll of an audience as well as the communication of art works in regard to their own expectations. An observation of behavior finds its expression in a complex game of references and the general incoherency of notations.

The series had a first version in 2012 in several group shows in Birmingham,
and a second version (new graphics, new size) in 2015, for a group exhibition in inCube Arts, Manhattan, New York, which after was shown at the conference for contemporary composition outside of its boundaries at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Stuttgart.
