Ivan Civic – fail to lose

This is one of the rarer performances I did in Berlin… It is another sort of weird video game for the artist… but this time the goal is not to become the ultimate artist superhero, just like in the other game: “Want it, get it, fake it!”… in this game the question: “Do I want to become an artist superhero anyway?” arises, but no actual answer is given. The aim of the game is to fail to lose, meaning: if you fail to lose, you win the game but by winning you actually lose the game, because the aim is to lose… a paradox…

Ivan Civic – Want it, get it, fake it! – the lost level

another performance out of the “virtual video game” world of the arts… Performed in Dubai… it wasn’t easy to get all those people to engage in any sort of physical interaction… and as for the hugs… they were difficult too, considering that each hug was over a couple minutes long.

Hello, here an “abstract” ***** poem. Modern… maybe not. Delicate… depending on the point of view and interesting… not really, exept for the fact that often people do and say things that mean more to them in the moment when they say them, than they ever really do or would to anybody else. If anybody has a similar need to share their own futile exercises in “puke the emotion out the wrong way”, then please feel free to post it/them here.
