»The presentation of the German artist duo WILHELM GROENER* is a playful hybrid between lecture and performance. It reflects their current artistic research entitled "performing archive", which goes beyond their oeuvre of more than 20 years and deals with the possibilities of linking the opposing concepts of the archival and the performative. The archives' methods, rhythms and connotations provide the structural threads from which visuals, body, sound and space are woven into a performative fabric with multiple narratives and enduring transformations.
WILHELM GROENER – since 2001 visual artist Mariola Groener and dancer Günther Wilhelm have combined their names and arts to form the WILHELM GROENER label. For the artist duo, their Alter Ego is a kind of third space in which their multilayered work is created in constant expansion, friction and transformation. So far WILHELM GROENER’s oeuvre covers 25 stage works, numerous stations of their ongoing performance project 33 SKIZZEN, several video works, art editions, publications and exhibitions.«
