‘Political-Timing-Specific’ Performance Art in the Realm of the Museum: The Potential of Reenactment as Practice of Memorialization
Can reenactments be a way to create counter-narratives in and for the museum? Through the analysis of political performance (or what the artist Tania Bruguera calls ‘political-timing-specific’ artworks), this essay discusses the potential of reenactment as both a practice of materializing memories and narratives of oppression and of rethinking museum policies in terms of preservation and display. Its main argument is that, while the archive can be regarded as a form of materializing the memory of these works, reenactment is more than a way of recovering the past; it is also a device for reconstructing memories of activism and oppression. This essay further suggests that reenactments of political-timing-specific works demand a change in accessioning, conservation, and presentation practices, which might be inclined to erase decentralized art-historical and material narratives.

»As communication arises out of silence« (Winnicott): Das Prekäre des Spiels
Die letzten Szenen von Deutschland im Jahre Null von Roberto Rossellini: Ein Junge geht allein durch die Trümmer des zerstörten Berlins. Der Junge scheint nicht zu wissen, ob die Welt aus Trümmern, in der, mit der er spielt, ihn halten wird, ob er nicht bereits stürzt. Die Frage ist also gerade nicht Spielen oder Fallen, sondern eher ist es das Fallen selbst, das hier spielt und die Frage wäre dann: Ist das Spielen in der Lage sich selbst, also sein eigenes Fallen zu halten?
