Gertrude-material
About love of art & art as love.
Gertrude-material is a performance about love and art. About love for art, but also about art as love, as an act of love, as a lovework. The performance loosely follows in the footsteps of Gertrude Stein and her life companion Alice B. Toklas and reaches out through various tentacles to the present, to contemporary art and to today’s art talk. What do we talk about when we talk about art? What do we talk about when in love? How do we talk about all the things we can’t really talk about because what we want to talk about doesn’t seem to translate into words?
– It feels like I’m still you know longing for a bit more, than, you know, that it is just sticking out.
– Mmm do we feel different then?
– There, there we are different yes.
