Heathers On Tour (HOT)

Umělkyně Veronika Burger, Nora Jacobs a Nicole Sabella vytvoří, podle motta „your documentation is my documentation is my material is my next show“, performativní instalaci inspirovanou scénáři hororových filmů. Propojením prvků ze svých dřívějších děl (textů, choreografických prvků, performativních objektů) s novými kostýmy a centrální otočnou scénou vznikne nové dílo, na kterém v navazující přednášce představí feministický pracovní přístup v ženském uměleckém kolektivu.

Veronika Burger, Nora Jacobs a Nicole Sabella se setkaly při studiích na Akademii výtvarných umění ve Vídni a spolupracují od roku 2013. Zaměřují se na post feministickou analýzu ženských postav v hororových filmech. Hororové postavy – jako "Final Girl" – jsou přenášeny z obrazovky na jeviště, přičemž je zachována neklidná hororová atmosféra.

According to the motto „your documentation is my documentation is my material is my next show“, Heathers on Tour (embodied by the artists Veronika Burger, Nora Jacobs and Nicole Sabella) combine performance objects, texts and choreographic elements from earlier works with new costumes and a central revolving stage to create a performative installation inspired by horror film scenarios. Performance and lecture provide insight into the female artist collective’s feminist working approach.

Veronika Burger, Nora Jacobs and Nicole Sabella met while studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and collaborate since 2013. They concentrate on a post feminist analysis of female characters in horror movies. Horror movie characters – like the “final girl” – are transferred from screen onto stage while maintaining an atmosphere of uncanniness.

ABOUT VERONIKA BURGER
WWW.VERONIKABURGER.COM
Lives and works in Vienna, AT. Veronika Burger studied at Transmedia Arts at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and recently finished her studies in Performative Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. The focus in her works is the performative with or without the physical presence of the own body. Veronika Burger deals in her works with the construction of memory and 20th/21st century art history and hence the subsequent change of perception of art works. The preoccupation with OFF-moments of artistic production and authorship draws a line between staged set-ups of exhibitions, descriptions of scripts, rehearsing and failing cheerleader and fitness choreographies, rehearsal situations of musicals and stage elements of musicals, film and photo sets, to the production of tears in telenovelas. Especially of importance for the artist is a humorous approach towards dealing with her characters, costumes, videos and objects.

ABOUT NORA JACOBS
WWW.VIMEO.COM/NORAJACOBS
*1984 in Berlin / DE. Lives and works in Vienna / AT
In her works Nora Jacobs deals with the moment of entering – making an entrance – as an accumulation and culmination of expectations. She is interested in the transition between before and after and the moment of the in between – all seen from the point of view of the person who enters and the person who observes. Something private becomes public and the other way around. Something unexpected happens. Irritation takes place. And what seemed to be choreographed, planned, and expected suddenly disappears. What comes after failure?
After graduating from the Li Po Chun United World College of Hong Kong / HK / with an International Baccalaureate in 2003 Nora Jacobs studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Wanting to deepen her performance skills she trained with the Academy of Circus Arts – Europe’s only traveling circus school for five months / UK. From 2006 to 2009 she attended the Norwegian Theatre Academy / NO and graduated with a B.A. in Acting. During that time she did an exchange term at the Zurich University of the Arts / CH at the Acting Department. Afterwards she felt the need to take a break and at the same time enrolled at the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts and Design / Kiel / DE before returning to Vienna to the Academy of Fine Arts where she will complete her Diploma in 2014.
