The classical artworks give way to the living bodies of the performers and their audience. The title \u201cBody and Building\u201d is deliberately ambiguous. It references the contrast between the living bodies and the static building \u2013 in this case the post-modern exhibition space with its characteristics stretched shape beneath a white, pointed gabled ceiling. Of course, the word \u201cbuilding\u201d also points to building as a productive active and here something is being built by bodies. If one then combines the two words to form \u201cbodybuilding\u201d, then they evoke a sports discipline that focuses on exaggerated nurturing of the body through hard physical training and which at first sight seems to be fairly out of place in a museum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 ho-pattern-optional-button padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='wp-block-ho-buttons '>\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-buttons-item\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.de\/\"  target=\"\" role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ho-button is-primary mobile-full-width\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ho-button-label \">Lorem Ipsum<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-medien-bild-text-links-grosses-bild-rechts-option-headline'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-1'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 col-md-6  mobile-margin-bottom-4'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-1 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12'>\n\n<div  class='mobile-margin-bottom-5'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4 ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">From New York to Frankfurt<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>The SCHIRN event was inspired by the \u201cPerformances: Four Evenings, Four Days\u201d festival held in 1976 in New York\u2019s Whitney Museum. Over a total of eight days, more than 40 artists performed live in the museum. It was a remarkable event, as at the time \u2018performance\u2019 was a completely new art form. It was until then at home in alternative art spaces and private lofts in Downtown. Young curator Marcia Tucker had the audacious idea of inviting this new community to perform in the established Uptown institution. This triggered not only some agitation within the museum, but also among members of the audience and the artists themselves. <br><br>It was a colorful festival program, ranging from evening-log dance and theater performances to experimental music presentations and a Pop concert with short performative interventions. One particular spectacle was devised by artist Jean Dupuy. Firmly in keeping with the spirit of Fluxus concerts he positioned a tiny rotating stage in the exhibition space and invited artist friends to use it for mini-performances. Unfortunately, the festival\u2019s equally small budget meant not all the artists could be appropriately paid, which let to protests and tumult.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-md-offset-1 col-xs-offset-2 col-xs-10'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/9d371de0edb3b7310610b1d896a6f5fd\/tumblr_nilc38PsXQ1rsbjfio1_500.jpg\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Flyer for \u201cPerformances: Four Evenings, Four Days\u201d, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, 1976<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/whitneymuseum.tumblr.com\/post\/108840218024\/throwback-thursday-flyer-for-performances-four\">whitneymuseum.tumblr.com<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/medien-bild-zentriert'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-md-offset-3 col-xs-10 col-xs-offset-1'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2013\/09\/26\/blogs\/20130926-lens-erwitt-slide-KPJH\/20130926-lens-erwitt-slide-KPJH-superJumbo.jpg\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Elliott Erwitt \/ Magnum Photos, Courtesy of teNeues; Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.nytimes.com\/lens.blogs.nytimes.com\/2013\/09\/27\/elliott-erwitt-coloring-outside-the-lines\/\">archive.nytimes.com<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline toggle-optional-button' data-pattern='ho\/text-option-headline-button'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">Lorem ipsum<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>A quite different event elbowed its way straight into this spectacle, namely a symposium entitled \u201cArticulate Muscle: The Male Body in Art\u201d. The museum announced the event as a scholarly format. In reality, it was an advertising format pure and simple. And what it advertised by the film production \u201cPumping Iron\u201d with no less a lead actor than the young Arnold Schwarzenegger. The film makers had run out of money and were therefore banging the drum to find new sponsors. Since one of the film\u2019s main propositions was that bodybuilding was a kind of sculpting of one\u2019s own body, it seemed quite obvious to host the event in a museum space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 ho-pattern-optional-button padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='wp-block-ho-buttons '>\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-buttons-item\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.de\/\"  target=\"\" role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ho-button is-primary mobile-full-width\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ho-button-label \">Lorem Ipsum<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-medien-video-text-links-video-rechts-option-headline'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-10 col-md-6'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4  ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">Under the guise of art history<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='mobile-padding-bottom-5'>\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>In order to tone down the advertising feel of the event slightly, the museum invited a female journalist and four university professors to a panel discussion on the muscular body in art. The audience, most of them members of New York\u2019s gay scene, impatiently sat through the remarks on Ancient Greek heroes and famous sculptors. They were actually there to see Arnold Schwarzenegger and his fellow actors. Who proceeded, once again on a rotating stage, to show off their oiled bodies to loud declarations of admiration. The bodybuilders confirmed in the discussion afterwards that they regarded their bodies as artworks. The art historians remained skeptical, however. They were evidently not familiar with neither the current performance trend nor the fast-evolving aesthetics of camp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-8  col-xs-offset-4 col-md-5 col-md-offset-1'>\n\n<div  class='lazy-media-play-content-wrapper margin-bottom-7'><figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_rl9N7W\">\n<script type=\"application\/json\">{\n\"id\" : 36075,\n\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-04-01-102150-300x154.jpg\",\"width\":300,\"height\":154,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":12769},\"large\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-04-01-102150-1024x525.jpg\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":525,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":71762},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-04-01-102150-768x393.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":393,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":48500},\"1536x1536\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-04-01-102150-1536x787.jpg\",\"width\":1536,\"height\":787,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":125312},\"small\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-04-01-102150-440x225.jpg\",\"width\":440,\"height\":225,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":22410},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-04-01-102150-580x297.jpg\",\"width\":580,\"height\":297,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":33258},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-04-01-102150-720x369.jpg\",\"width\":720,\"height\":369,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":45043},\"hd\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-04-01-102150-1280x656.jpg\",\"width\":1280,\"height\":656,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":96898},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-04-01-102150.jpg\",\"width\":1796,\"height\":920}},\n\"alt\" : \"\",\n\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/03\\\/\",\n\"video\" : null,\n\"autoplay\" : null,\n\"youtube\" : \"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=ok-FhIOPw1g\",\n\"youtubelabel\" : \"play\",\n\"brightness\" : 100,\n\"crop\" : {\"x\":0.5,\"y\":0.5},\n\"background\" : true,\n\"scale\" : 1,\n\"zoom\" : false,\n\"annotations\" : null}<\/script>\n<div class=\"height-container \" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%;

It stood out at the time for its dark natural stone floor and suspended concrete coffered ceiling that contrasted sharply with the colorful and vibrant works on display. Moreover, the few windows there were all remained covered creating a kind of dark theater space illuminated only by spotlights. In the SCHIRN, the opposite will be the case: Specially for the festival, the entire window frontage which is normally covered over as it forms the surface on which the art is displayed, will be opened up. This will create not only new lines connecting the exhibition and urban space, but through interaction with the living artworks offer completely new spatial experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 ho-pattern-optional-button padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='wp-block-ho-buttons '>\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-buttons-item\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.de\/\"  target=\"\" role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ho-button is-primary mobile-full-width\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ho-button-label \">Lorem Ipsum<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u201cBody and Building\u201d festival in the SCHIRN gives center stage to dialog between the body and architecture.
