Live Art Review
 4TH DECEMBER FROM 5PM!



LIEBIG12 is proud to announce an upcoming performative exhibition in Berlin.
We are offering the opportunity for artists and critics 
to come together for a joyful event. 
A live discussion will take place during the opening day (4th December 2011) 
led by the  participating critics and the audience on a stage / plinth 
created by the artist Catriona Robertson ((the curator of this happening, in collaboration 
with Liebig12 - Atelier run by the artist Allegra Solitude).
Each artist will present their work and have their work reviewed live by the critics. 
The stage represents the plinth, a platform for art 
and the stage as a platform for a performance.
The review will be an open discussion, which could also be seen as a performance in itself. 
The work the artist chooses to show will become a part of an entire performance through 
the presence of the artist, the work, the critic and the audience, and most importantly the 
atmosphere created by the tone of the review (positive and negative).
The entire happening will be documented and published on the blog:

IVAN KISS
conceptual designer 
His focus lies on charging objects with another layer of meaning in a distracting way 
ultimately leading to a loss of identity.
The Project 'A clean war' (saubere Kriegsführung) is an attempt to give an abstract term 
that is commonly used in international politics a physical body.
The result is an object that most people would recognize as a soap dish.

Live Art Review


INVITATION TO CRITICS AND ARTISTS



LIEBIG12 is proud to announce an upcoming performative exhibition in Berlin. 

The exhibition will take place on 4th December.

We are offering the opportunity for artists and critics to come together for an exposing event, followed by an exhibition.

Artists are invited to show 1 work in a group exhibition, critics are invited to review the works on show.

There will be an opening/vernissage of the exhibition where a live discussion will take place about the works led by 

the participating critics and the audience.

There will be a stage (created by the artist Catriona Robertson curator of this happening together with Davide Daninos and 


Liebig12 - Atelier runned by Allegra Solitude) 

where each artist will present their work and have their work reviewed live by the critics 

(this only needs to be a few sentences, or as long as they like).

The stage represents the plinth, a platform for art, and the stage as a platform for a performance. 

The critics review and the discussion of the artist together becomes like a performance on stage,

 instead of behind closed doors and in articles after the exhibition.

The work the artist chooses to show might not necessarily be a live medium, 

as it will become a part of an entire performance through the presence of 

the artist, the work, the critic and the audience, and most importantly the atmosphere created by the tone of the review 

(positive and negative). 

Artists – show your work (performance, video, painting, sculpture, installation etc welcome).

Please send an email with images and description of your existing work. 

Critics – if you are an art critic, performance critic, or any kind of critic (e.g food, travel), 

an artist or anyone who wants to give their opinion in the role of a critic, 

please get in contact by email.

Please submit your applications asap to liebig12review@gmail.com.

Deadline for application now extended till 20th of November.

Artist should be available to install their work few days before and pick it up afterwards. 
NO APPLICATION FEE
NO BUDGET FOR PRODUCTION 
BUT 
PART OF THE EQUIPMENT IS THERE!

Please get in contact for more information!


STRUCTURE:



The exhibition and stage are set up in the space (a few days before the opening)

The artist and critic go up on stage together.

The artist introduces themselves, and the work (in less than 5 minutes) even if this is a performance, it could be done at this point.

Or a film will need to be shown partially (if it is longer than 5). 

They might only need to say a short sentence if they prefer.

The critic then takes over, and can interview the artists directly, or just say their immediate reaction. 

This will last no longer than 10 minutes. 

After the critic has finished, the audience can say their opinion if they would like to.

This would then mean the whole discussion lasts about 2 hours (based on 7 artists).

Then we have a break of 1 hour.

Then there is a performance by the Band (possibly) which doesnt need to be long, depending on what they want to do.

Then there is time after for drinks etc. 

So the whole structure could work for 1 evening event.

After the opening the exhibition will last 1 more week.

The opening will be documented and transcribed into a blog.
