2010-07-22 : FISCHGRÄTENMELKSTAND

Last week we visited the last madness of John Bock, an artist that we had the opportunity to interview for our Belio: 025 - Mad. The show is certainly an experience we recommend to all those who will pass by the ever-bustling Berlin before August 31. If anyone wonder how would feel to be inside the mind of a mad genius, this exhibition may give you a clue, showing a surreal way of establishing connections between the non-connectable. John Bock has sucked more than fifty artists and has vomited a master piece of incredible proportions. Here we show you some pictures of the installation.




FischGrätenMelkStand is the final project at Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin. Bock has developed a masterful meta-structure within which he installs works by 63 artists, architects, and composers. Besides installations, films, models, and sculptures, there are also historical film props, music scores, books, and fan items. An eleven-meter-tall walk-in steel construction creates a range of spatial situations over four levels, linking the individual works into a kind of total artwork. Artists invited include: Franz Ackermann, Pawel Althamer, And Also The Trees, Heike Aumüller, BARarchitekten, Anna und Bernhard Blume, Brandlhuber+, Björn Braun, Matthew Burbidge, Nina Canell, Franziska Cordes, Björn Dahlem, Discoteca Flaming Star, Martin Fletcher, Saul Fletcher, Anuschka Hoevener, Sergej Jensen, Stefan Kern, Martin Kippenberger, Harald Klingelhöller, Lachenmann, Ludwig Leo, Sergio Leone, Klara Lidén, Adrian Lohmüller, Lone Haugaard Madsen, Paul McCarthy, Sandra Meisel, Julian Rosefeldt, Jane Russell, Egill Sæbjörnsson, Albert von Schrenck-Notzing, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Kara Uzelman, Edgar Varèse, Vinyl Terror & Horror and Ingrid Wiener among many others.
