A one-week performance art residency with culminating performance, October, 611,
2014 with
culminating event October 11, 7:00 PM


Vienna based artist Michael Fliri, with Berlin based artist Johanna Thompson and San Francisco. USA based artist Justin Hoover present performative reflections on the psychology of Philip K. Dick novels, specifically embodying a schizophrenic male duo and their twin sister. Through conflating Berlin military history, pop culture and iconic cinematic moments into a oneweek embodied performance art workshop, Slipstream weaves these moments together through the use of creative writing tropes found in Philip K. Dick books, specifically finding the humor and expressing the tension inherent in dystopia, cognitive dissonance, collapse/failure, schizophrenia, unreality and simultaneous multidimensional consciousness.

Together Fliri, Hoover and Thompson will develop broadly thematic characters, place them on the body or in the costume and enact these characters first in the gallery and then into public in efforts to live varying histories and personae on top of each other in a new tapestry of cultural identity.

This one-week performance art residency culminates in a participatory performance event on the night only Saturday, October 11 2014 at 7pm where the public is invited to view the work or to intervene according to determined ways. Specifically, this project involves the featured artists living one week of a novel that has not yet been written and exploring Dick’s often recurring themes of schizophrenia through performances and gestural actions to explore concepts of authorship, costume and prosthesis.

This group performance plans to work daily in public space with interventions and investigations culminating in jam sessions in the gallery that are both story sharing sections where the trio will read excerpts from Dick novels and as well open the floor to additions by other individuals including music, poetry and performance and following Dick´s conflation of histories in his novels, varying iconic cinematic places in the city will act as backdrops to performative personae enacting alternative actions in these locations such as embodying contemporary club culture or Iggy Popesque personalities on the location of the Berlin wall´s deconstruction.

Featured artist Justin Hoover commented, “We three artists are very different in practice and background, all utilizing time and the body in our work, but working for different ends, together working toward a new idea of what Dick’s genius continues to offer today and how science fiction has continued to affect how we interpret contemporary art, the self and our relationships to each other.”

Artist Johanna Thompson commented, “This particular constellation is perfect for exploring Philip K. Dick´s recurring theme of identity by emulating his typical character set up: The two male personas that are distinctly different and yet are really one, and the female counterpart, the guiding woman that completes the trinity.”

This is the first time these three have ever come together to work on a collaboration yet each is established in their respective regions.
