Die Auto-Perforations-Artisten (F.A.Q.)
The exhibition is dedicated to the work of the Auto-Perforations-Artisten. The Dresden group of artists had been active since 1982 and consisted of Micha Brendel, Else Gabriel, Rainer Görß, and Via Lewandowsky. Auto-Perforations-Artistik is a specific form of action art that combines performances, installations, music, and actions. It developed in opposition to the prevailing dogmatically prescribed state culture and the art production of the GDR, which was orientated towards Socialist Realism. At the center of the work of the Auto-Perforations-Artisten was their own body, which was exhausted to the point of self-violation. This is the group's first institutional solo exhibition in Berlin.
