Syndicate: brener is in love


ho,

Just came back from a performance/exhibition by Alexander Brener and 
Barbara Schultz in the Kapelica Gallery, Ljubljana, Slovenija.

Something was suspicious when during the Mark Pauline lecture (about 
two weeks ago) the gallery curator Jurij Krpan told me that he is  
deeply shocked with Brener's tech list. He said Brener asked for few 
nails to hang some drawings and that's it.

And really, Alexander have written a nice and calm manifesto on the 
gallery wall claiming at the end something like: Long live art, 
terrorism is the thing of the past.... After we all had a 
chance to read this, and after we saw several bad (xeroxed) drawings 
on the wall, a performance started.

Barbara has put on a haloween mask and started burning those copies, 
badly overacting and altogether doing a lousy show for the present 
photographers and cameramen. After about five minutes of this, 
Alexander took a similar mask and with a can of spray paint broke the 
window of the gallery.... As soon as this was done he sat in a 
supermarket shopping cart and Barbara drove him around the 
crowded gallery for five minutes while he was screaming....

That's it
