PLATFORM3 WORKS
March 19, 2010 to March 21, 2010
Platform3 is celebrating a year of existence with an anniversary exhibition and a weekend with open studios. The jubilee exhibition is organised and arranged by Heike Ander (Curator of kunstraum muenchen, Exhibition and Cooperation Consultant at Kunsthochschule für Medien, Cologne) and Kathleen Rahn (Director of the Kunstverein Nürnberg-Albrecht Dürer Gesellschaft) together with the involved artists and the Team of Platform3. This year's theme at Platform3 being “Work“, the exhibition “Platform3 works” itself will also envelop aspects of the 21 studios and working spaces. Based on the fact of the different artistical positions the group exhibition will show some insight views. The first show uniting all the artists will demonstrate the wide spectrum and concurrently the extremes, similarity and the not so obvious connections of the studio neighbours in a dialogical way. Installations, objects, collages, paintings, photography and video will be shown at Platform3. Furthermore the open studios will invite for a personal talk and an intense debate with the artists during the weekend of March 20th and 21st, 2010.

Performance SUPER A: Common Sense
Saturday, 20th March, 7pm
In his talk the Melanesian theorist and theologian SUPER A presents an affectionate chronicle into the future of cargo cult. Extracted from the practices of his home island, New Hanover, SUPER A elaborates on the basics of the cult and shows the difficult implications of simulation and over-identification today. While under the influence of US Army in the mid 1940’s and 50’s the islanders of Melanesia developed an ostentatious practice mimicking the US culture, worshipping the wealth (cargo!) of the foreigners in the hope of its return. What became hereafter ridiculed by many for its naivety -- the islanders cleared the indigenous forests, built faked airplanes and landing stripes, even elected Lyndon Johnson to be their president -- poses a challenge to the dialectics of economy and creativity. It is both a model for marketing as well as political resistance. In this performative step-to-step manifesto SUPER A draws from the rich heritage of cargo cult and shows its renewed promise for the 21st century.
