geheimagentur (D)

The Bank of Burning Money, the miracle branch, the alibi agency, the tourism-art scholarship programme – geheimagentur produces situations and institutions that appear to be fictions but then actually pass the reality check. geheimagentur performances transcend the boundaries of symbolic politics towards instant pleasure: they create a different reality on a small scale instead of affirming the old world with a critical gesture. geheimagentur is an independent label, an open collective, and the attempt to create a practical art of being many – no-one knows who belongs to them and who doesn’t.

geheimagentur projects include; „Die Abendschule der Verschwendung I-III“ (Thalia Theater Hamburg), „alibi: wir sind nicht da I-III” (Thalia Theater Hamburg 2008), „china ist unsere zukunft – as if these were the early days of a better society” (Kampnagel Hamburg 2008), „The Get-Away-Gala” (Internationales Sommerfestival Kampnagel 2009), „The Most Wanted Works of Art” (Kampnagel Hamburg and Wiener Festwochen 2010).
