Promenadeplatz 2–6 | 80333 Munichn)
Munich, Germany

Moderated by Lisa Weber

An artist talk with Alexandra Bircken and Pia Stadtbäumer will be held on the occasion of the installation of Alexandra Bircken’s work PS (Horsepower) at Oskar-von-Miller-Ring.

With her expansive equestrian sculpture installed at the tunnel portal on Oskar-von-Miller-Ring, Alexandra Bircken explores the role of mobility and speed in the urban environment. Pia Stadtbäumer, a current member of the QUIVID art commission, created a counterpoint to Munich’s traditional equestrian monuments with her rider sculpture GO! (2004) in Petuelpark.

In conversation with Lisa Weber, head of QUIVID – the City of Munich’s public art programme – the two artists will discuss the background and context of their work.

The talk takes place as part of the “Unconference” by Various Others at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof.

“You don’t know who you are, who you were, you know you have played, you don’t know what you played, what you are playing, you know you have to play, you don’t know what, you play. Nor can you remember what your roles were, nor which of your children are alive or dead. Nor which are the locations, the settings, the capitals, or the continents where you cried out the passion of lovers. Only that the people in the audience have bought a ticket and that somebody owes them a performance.

You are the stage actress, the splendor of the age of the world, its crowning achievement, the glory of its last delivery. You have forgotten everything except Savannah, Savannah Bay.

Savannah Bay is you.

M. D.”

From Savannah Bay, a play by French novelist and playwright Marguerite Duras.
