BACKSTAGE FASHION RULES!

Backstage at INkonst, Malmo, Sweden, was quite a spectacle of some of the globes most cutting edge fashions, the new trend, DIY painted topless one pieces and *"action pants".

*"ACTION PANTS" crotch cutouts,  modelled by Head of NO-DANCE at C.O.S. Krõõt Juurak @clickercat vErY inspired by *VALIE EXPORT's "Action Pants: Genital Panic" performance and photo series (1969)

NAKED (by Krõõt Juurak)
DIY as Destroy It Yourself as Subtractive Fashion towards nakedness beyond consumption. Action pants is open source: Use the scissors: H&M minus TRIANGLE = Action pants.
Action pants is a declaration: against the readymade,  
against "easy peaces",
against guitar solos, against any kind of sedative art,
against conservation of art in museums, reconstruction
against any individual retrospective now and in the future.
Action pants stands for radical nakedness, chaotic freedom beyond any good or bad categories here and now.
How does it feel? DIY!

"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!!!!

Sherrie and A.L. interviewing the audience, "Is it more comfortable to perform naked on stage?"

The press announcing NAKED PERFORMERS.....apparently it's sold out....a camera man came by yesterday and expected naked rehersals, he was deeply upset, to find us rehersing fully clothed....he even tried to get us to take our clothes off, saying it was for national TV!

Ann-Liv Young performing Cinderella @ Inkonst, Sweden

last night Ann-liv Young AKA Sherrie performed "Cinderella" for the first time, strong, beautiful and pooey! in a genius kind of way! Sherrie delivered an emotionally and ear damaging rendition of Britney Speers song "Hit me one more time", sitting on a bed of glitter, circled with kitchen knives, reciting Cinderella's thoughts and managed to not only sell the audience her mini mouse watch, in an open bid with the audience, but bags of poop as art souvenirs. We wonder why the Director of PS1 and MoMA would even dare to cut the power on such an important, feminist performance artist of today, was it too HARD?

We love you Ann-Liv Young!

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
