Folkwang students from Marina Abramović’s Free Interdisciplinary Performance Lab to perform at the Museum Folkwang from 30 June to 9 July 2023

Internationally acclaimed performance artist Marina Abramović is working with students from all artistic disciplines as part of the Pina Bausch Professorship at the Folkwang University of the Arts. The jointly crafted performance project will be on show at the Museum Folkwang from 30 June to 9 July 2023.

Since the 22/23 winter semester, Marina Abramović has been working with international students from all Folkwang disciplines over four workshop phases called the Free Interdisciplinary Performance Laboratory, to prepare individual and collaborative performances. At the end of the second phase, the artist decided that the final presentation would be put on at the Museum Folkwang as part of a nine-day ‘Long Durational Performance’ event, primarily centered on showcasing the focus, perseverance and concentration of the 26 young participating artists – who include singers, dancers, photographers, actors, directors and composers aged 17 to 39.

The students from the Free Interdisciplinary Performance Labs are: Eleonora Arnold, Gloria Carobini, Leon Maximilian Focker, Camilla Gerstner, Klara Günther, Camillo Guthmann, Anna Veronika Hargitai, Paulina Holtkamp, Smila Vita Hoppe, Jakob Jentgens, Moonjoo Kim, Sophie Kockler, Goa-Louisa Kollewijn, Florian Kresser, Frederico Mendes Teixeira, Francesco Marzano, Julian Mattlinger, Anaïs-Manon Mazic, Gaia Pellegrini, Konstantin Pütz, Marija Radovanovic, Janina Schweitzer, Aleksandar Timotic, Luke Venatier, Anton Vichrov and Theo Voerste.
