Today, performance art creates a place of discourse and symbolizes, at the same time, linguistic and physical immediacy. Theory building, different approaches to authorship, feminist reading methods, and the taking up of artistic and existential questions as performances come together in the positions of Lilo Nein and Katharina Cibulka/Peek a Corner.

In ‘Siegerperformace — eine Appropriation,’ Lilo Nein expands her performative research methods. She analyzes and examines the relationship between text, performance, and authorship by using three different speaker positions for performances.

In Katharina Cibulka's performance project ‘Peek a Corner,’ the stage in the context of art becomes a platform for people to have their say, people who want to share their experiences with others because it affects everyone. The project sees itself as an infinitely continual and freely interchangeable series of performances.

Lilo Nein was born in 1980, Vienna. Lilo Nein studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and the University of Fine Arts Hamburg. She predominantly works as an artist, studies philosophy, performs, writes and lectures. In 2009 she wrote ‘TRANSLATE YOURSELF! A performance reading book to perform’. In 2011 she taught at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and published ‘DIE ANWESENDE AUTORIN. Who is speaking in the performance?’ at Revolver Publishing.

Katharina Cibulka was born 1975 in Innsbruck, lives and works in Vienna. Cibulka is a visual artist, filmmaker and co-founder of the women's band telenovela.
