About Magdalena Inc. +

Magdalena Inc. + was a working group of performance artists, but it was also a research community. Its members Walli Höfinger, Christiane Hommelsheim, Ruth Hommelsheim and Christopher Dell would work in a focused manner on the basis of collective action experiments. At the same time they had a wide outlook, positioning their research within a broader disciplinary context at the intersection of performance, visual art, embodiment work and music. The artists also strove to heighten the visibility of such extended perspectives by arranging performances in self-organised spaces, and by staging programmatic manifestations at established exhibition venues.

Typically, the MI+ group’s primary focus was on the ostensible and relational actions taking place within the carefully arranged dispositive of a plurimedial stage set. The methodological deferral and displacement of concerted actions into a context of principle questions of performance thereby reconceptualized the rehearsal. Against its conventional interpretation as an ephemeral prelude to some more specific action, MI+ positions and reframes the rehearsal as the main work of an ongoing recherche de longue durée.

It is in this context, with a strong reverence for procedural questions, that MI+ was formed as performance group in 1996; at its inception there were two members; by 1998 there were four; and in 2003 they disbanded. The group produced 3 programs, while the character of their work changed from 1996: the stage settings became more complex, with more media involved, and a denser action frame.

The three progams were „Am Rande der Zeit“ (2001), „slow space“ (202) and „Der dritte Körper“ (2003) with their most prominent shows held at Saarlandmuseum Saarbrücken, Orangerie Theater Cologne and the Opening! Festival held at Tuchfabrik Trier.

Far far away, behind the word mountains

far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia....

Es ist ein para diesmatisches Land!

Weit hinten, hinter den Wortbergen, fern der Länder Vokalien und Konsonantien leben die Blindtexte. Abgeschieden wohnen sie in Buchstabhausen an der Küste des Semantik, eines großen Sprachozeans. Ein kleines Bächlein namens Duden fließt durch ihren Ort und versorgt...
