| Robert Schad. Dancing sculptures in the park |
Dreharbeiten | Krähnholm, Gerhard-Marcks-Haus | Bremen, Knoops Park | D | 7.9.2021 |
It is not surprising that the German sculptor Robert Schad was particularly influenced by dancers and choreographers: his sculptures are slender steel structures that, despite the hardness of the material they are made of, give to viewer the fleeting impression of a moving body.
In the project Tanzender Stahl, the team of the Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut illustrates Schad’s sculptures at the Gerhard-Marcks-Haus and Knoops Park in Bremen, highlighting their connection to dance.
It has now been possible to bring the guest performance of the Swiss dancer ANNA HUBER, which was cancelled due to Corona, to Bremen in the context of the exhibition “Bremen vierkant” by the steel sculptor ROBERT SCHAD. With a delay of more than a year, Anna Huber will not dance in the Gerhard-Marcks Haus as originally planned, but in the Robert Schad exhibition of the Kränholm Foundation in Knoops Park. She dances to live music by Martin Schütz, cello.
Robert Schad will also be present.
Lightness and movement interest the steel sculptor Robert Schad, whose square-steel sculptures come across as weighing tons, rising gracefully higher and higher into the sky, striding through a room as if on spikes, or – more rarely – seeming to wind gently across the floor. His early artistic exchange with the dancer and choreographer GERHARD BOHNER marked the beginning of his artistic dialogue with dance makers. Robert Schad entered into a reciprocal exchange, often lasting for years, with renowned personalities such as the dancers and choreographers SUSANNE LINKE, FINE KWIATKOWSKI, RUI HORTA, AVI KAISER, URS DIETRICH and ANNA HUBER.
Please observe the current hygiene regulations.
At the Battle of Ohamakari, large parts of the Herero were killed by German colonial troops. An event in the Nelson Mandela Park in Bremen commemorates the genocide in Namibia from 1904 to 1908.
On 11 August 2021 hrs, the annual commemoration in memory of the victims of the genocide in Namibia will take place at the AntiColonialMemorial “The Elephant!”
.
In January 1904, the Herero population group in what is now Namibia revolted against the German colonial rulers. Lieutenant General Lothar von Trotha finally led the conflict for the German Empire as a war of extermination. The genocide began with the “Battle of Ohamakari” (“Battle of the Waterberg”) on 11 August 1904. The colonial war and the systematic persecution and extermination of the three ethnic groups continued until 1908. At that time, the German Schutztruppe also carried out murder campaigns against the San. Up to 90,000 people were murdered in the process; they died through military violence, by dying of thirst and starvation on the run or from forced labour in the concentration camps of the German colony. The massacres of the Herero and Nama in what is now Namibia by German colonial troops are considered the first genocide of the 20th century, as claimed for years by the descendants and survivors of the genocide.

Vienna’s most important galleries and international highlights make up the field of participants at the first SPARK Art Fair Vienna. They show a balanced mix of established positions and young, emerging artists. In the three curated sections “Utopia: Post-War” by Sabine Breitwieser, “Perspectives” by Tevž Logar and “Interface – Contemporary New Media and Digital Art” by Marlies Wirth, digital art forms, film, dance and photography, among others, can be seen.
In addition to international greats such as Lawrence Weiner, Heimo Zobernig, Anna Boghiguian, Eva Beresin or Nadira Husain, new works by up-and-coming talents such as Sophia Süßmilch, Birke Gorm, Jonas Lund, Nschotschi Haslinger, Irina Lotarevice or Niko Abramidis & NE can be discovered at the fair. The programme is complemented by surprising insights into the works of 20th century art icons such as Nancy Spero, Stano Filko, Joseph Beuys or Maria Lassnig. With Jakob Lena Knebl, Austria’s contribution to the 59th Venice Biennale (together with Ashley Hans Scheirl) is also represented at SPARK.
Three Curated Sections.
The section “Interface – Contemporary New Media and Digital Art”, curated by Marlies Wirth, focuses on digital art and media art. An area of interest to curators, institutions, galleries and collectors alike, it addresses new and exciting possibilities of digital technologies.
The section “Utopia: Post-War”, curated by Sabine Breitwieser, is dedicated to the open and multiple narratives of post-war art. It includes solo presentations by local and international galleries in close relation to the selected artists*. Special features on experimental film and post-war dance expand the exhibition and address other forms of distribution.
The exhibition also includes a series of special features on post-war dance and experimental film.
The Perspectives section, curated by Tevž Logar, serves as a narrative link between the galleries and the individual artistic practices, defining the social and political frameworks that make thinking about processes of change possible in the first place.
.
The German Dance Film Institute Bremen is pleased to invite curator Sabine Breitwieser to the SPARK ART FAIR VIENNA section “Utopia:Post-War”. Selected film contributions to the work of the Austrian Hans Kresnik, who lives in Germany, and the choreographer Susanne Linke will be shown in Vienna.

“For the film “Bibliothéque sac à dos”, artist Burkhard Scheller created five library backpacks that were rescued as cultural emergency luggage by performers in a forest to which a mysterious singer calls them. Some characters bear resemblance to those of the Commedia Dell’Arte.”
