Catalog presentation and Sound-performance

Dear Friends,
Image Movement is delighted to host an evening with Christian Jendreiko.

»Christian Jendreiko’s actions are models in a powerful sense [...] 
They are about speaking, thinking, acting and playing together as if we already lived in a liberated society; liberated, released from the fittings, from the constraints of roles and identities in bourgeois society. They are not the practices of one outstanding (artist) subject but of a group, a collective intelligence, a general intellect, as Marx would call it. That which was always meant by avant-garde in its various forms through history, the transition of art into life and into the everyday — this is the aim or implication of such actions. A communism of the mind is practiced or rehearsed. The modality of its actions is pre-figurative; its social form is not that of the independent, self-sufficient subject (and its mirror image, the autonomous artwork), but rather that of a coming community of singular individuals, who collectively try out new forms of Being-with (Mitsein).« 
[Michael Hirsch]
