"THE NAKED PERFORMER" @ GIRL MONSTER, INKONST, MALMO

THE STAGE IS YOURS!     (The first Interactive Chicks on Speed art-performance)

The Naked Performer was our first DO IT YOURSELF STAGE SHOW, blurring the lines between "audience" and performer, where the audience became the art stars.

Jobs on Stage: bar tenders with schnaps cocain pistols, wanna be dancers, mobile disco ball slaves, "creative rape", unfamous action painters, all the way, naked or not, everybody entering the performance space was hired for the job, anything said, performed or not performed, was part of the performance...including breaking that girls mobile phone! oops!

A.L. Steiner´s.......slide lecture in the dark, whilst melissa begins to show audience performers how to paint....

The beautiful and artful, Ann-Liv Young aka Feminasty Sherrie was Career adviser; Sherrie starts looking for art workers who always dreamt of being famous painters, dancers, bar tenders to follow C.O.S. instructions very attentively!!!!

GIRL MONSTER # 9: GENIUS INVENTOR GODDESS

TANJA OSTOJIC (Performance + Lecture)
MARGIT CZENKI (Film-Screening)
DJ AROMA + MC QUIO (Music/Live-Set)
HOST: Melissa Logan  (Chicks on Speed)
20.3.2010 / 20:30 H / Kampnagel Theatre Hamburg

GIRL MONSTER is a platform to explore the wild side of feminist art-production, combining performance art, video art, music and action! The GIRL MONSTER series is a concept by Chicks on Speed and produced by Kampnagel. Curated by Chicks on Speed.

Tanja Ostojic: ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE:
Integration Impossible is a new interactive compilation of performances, art actions and documentary by Tanja Ostojic questioning EU migration policies and the notion of terrorism. Ostojic directly familiarized herself with popular border crossings strategies that migrants have been using for decades. In order to take her own rights that she has been restricted from by current EU laws, she explicitly applied strategies of provoking public sphere and of violation of law, to gain the right to move freely and live and work where she wants.

Her recent series of works entitled Integration Project summarizes experiences and investigations related to the situation of being a womаn immigrant in Germany. The preceding project Looking for a Husband with EU Passport was an initial key frame that thematises gender politics and capitalism and describes the collision between isolation, poverty and the EU policies of exclusion: to obtain a residence permit for the EU she posted her nude photo on the Internet in search of an EU citizen interested in marriage. A brief meeting in Belgrade was followed by the wedding as a performance act in the media of law.

Tanja Ostojic (Belgrade/Berlin) was born in Yugoslavia in 1972 and studied art in Belgrade and Nantes (France). She is an interdisciplinary artist developing and presenting her work intensivеly worldwide, engaged as well as cultural activist, visiting professor, contributor to the “Art in Migration” magazine (Vienna). She includes herself as a character in situationistic performances and uses diverse media in artistic researches, thereby examining social configurations and relations of power. She works from the migrant women perspective. The approach in her work is predominantly defined by political position, humour and the integration of the recipient.

Margit Czenki (Hamburg) is a feminist film maker, artist and activist. She is showing rare video art works from her unique archive. http://www.margitczenki.net/

DJ AROMA / MC QUIO (Berlin) DJ Aroma is running the record label AROMAMUSIC and DJing all over the world. For Girl Monster she invited MC QUIO to join her for amazing live-performance. http://www.myspace.com/djaroma // http://www.myspace.com/quio

"Create under all difficult Circumstances" HAPPENING dj set with Anton Unai and Krõõt Juurak-

Here it is, a short vid-edit, we exhibited as part of our fashionable art installation @ Markt, Scope New York, edited by our lovely, friend and collaborator A.L. Steiner, who, under all difficult circumstances created it, (in between A.L. preparing her new work for PS1 and moving house....!!! ) We LOVE you Steiner!!!!

People, people... including our most wonderful booking agent Ulla, always asks us for a video clip  of our new dj set, but each one is different, so by the time we get the video all swanky and ready, we´re already performing a new set.....so can´t wait for direct video streams in clubs, so everybody can be part of the action! I hear they´ve already laid loads of optic fibre cables all over the planet, so when can we work real time, on projects with our buddies in NY and Melbourne.......... simultaneoussssli?

Total laugh (by Faustine K)

Almost 7 millions viewers. Right. I guess this ain't what you can call "une découverte". It even seems all my friends know the lyrics par cœur already. Still, it made my day. Ninja men who know how to twirl, Eva Peron, Ringo Starr and mullet with headlights are there, Bonnie est en mode actor's studio et la personne qui a eu l'idée de faire cette vidéo est un putain de génie. Brilliant.

Chicks on Speed; Don´t Art, Fashion, Music (with The Theremin Tapestry) @ Dundee Contemporary Arts

The theremin tapestry, made during our exhibitiion "Viva La Craft", Craft Victoria, Australia and debuted at "Best of 50 years" @ Kunstverein Wolfsburg, in December 09, is now having it´s very own professional "Hasenkamp-like-art-box" built and on its way to Dundee Contemporary Arts, for our solo show: "Chicks on Speed; Don´t  Art, Fashion, music" opening June 4th.
