Florentina Holzinger & Vincent Riebeek / Campo

With KEIN APPLAUS FÜR SCHEISSE (NO APPLAUSE FOR SHIT) Florentina Holzinger and Vincent Riebeek made a name for themselves as »Europe’s most provocative young artists«. WELLNESS now forms the conclusion of a trilogy, in which elements of pop culture, the stylistic device of classical performance art and contemporary physical culture are interwoven into a dizzying mixture of profanity, beauty, provocation, tenderness, revulsion and intimacy. Their first group piece pursues the body cult of our time and presents a merciless analysis of the neo-liberal self in a training course that encompasses cross fit, psychotherapy, beauty pageants, sex and yoga. The works of Holzinger and Riebeek are distinguished by an unrelenting commitment to dance: alongside references to Lana del Rey and Rihanna they investigate (via Youtube) the history of dance and look at music video choreography as well as classics from Martha Graham to Merce Cunningham.
