Erfahrung – I

Ongoing performative work

What is the price of knowledge?  Do we learn from books or from life? Which lessons are more powerful? What we consider to be knowledge?
What is “culture” after Auschwitz?

After the first semester of my study in the Master Program Art in Public Space and New Artistic Strategies at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar I have done a tattoo with my matriculation number. The starting point of thinking was Anwesenheitsliste at Boris Buden’s theory class: every lesson students had to mark own attendance by filling in list of two columns: name and Immatrikulationsnummer, standard form for marking attendance at German Universities. One of the questions we discussed in one of the classes was what is experience.
