In addition to numerous improvised and musical performances, the programme includes film screenings of Marina Abramović’s past works, such as her 1997 tango video performance Insomnia, followed by a four-hour Argentine tango marathon in the exhibition hall; a talk on performance art from the 1970s and from today between young artists, contemporaries of Beuys and art historians, including the participating artists, Ulrike Rosenbach, Wolfgang Zumdick and members of the Abramović Institute; reinterpretations of historical Fluxus pieces; moments of homage to the recently deceased Fluxus legend Takako Saito; dance performances; an art-historical lecture by Antje von Graevenitz on the historical Festum Fluxorum Fluxus of 1963; re-performances of historical Fluxus actions by young artists, such as countertenor Aleksandar Timotić; and much more. Isaac Chong Wai's Laughing Exercise will be activated by the audience as a performance, in keeping with the cheerful spirit of Fluxus.
