Es f&#252;hlt sich an, als h&#228;tte es nie diese kontinentale Distanz gegeben, sch&#246;n normal. Heimelig. Genau das, was ich gerade brauche, nach den letzten wilden Wochen. Nun sitze ich hier also Carrie Bradshaw-esk, aber mit einer warmen Br&#252;he, in Leggings und Oversize-Hoodie anstatt mit Cosmopolitan, Zigarette und Manolo Blahniks, und verfasse diesen Feldbericht Nr. 3.</p><p>Die ersten 2 1/2 Wochen des August hatten sich angef&#252;hlt wie ein Marathon, den ich untrainiert mitgerannt bin. Denn der Ausstellungsaufbau f&#252;r <em>&#8222;Media Art is here&#8220;</em> kam so &#252;berraschend f&#252;r mich wie jeder kirchliche Feiertag im Fr&#252;hjahr, an dem ich, von Panik &#252;berkommen, in den vollgedr&#228;ngten Supermarkt eile, um mich f&#252;r die 24h ohne Kaufm&#246;glichkeit zu preppen. So &#228;hnlich war auch dieser Ausstellungsaufbau, viele angefangene Ideen von &#8220;<em>FURIE&#8221;</em> mussten in halbwegs pr&#228;sentable Formen gebracht werden, sowohl mein kurz vorher erworbener Beichtstuhl f&#252;r eine Installation, in dem mir Besuchende ihre Wut-Geschichten beichten k&#246;nnen, als auch das Video, das ich 6 Tage vor Vernissage gedreht hatte. So wurde es zu einem Deadline-Rush der besonderen Art, denn hasse ich diese nicht nur eh schon (ich bin ein Planungsfreak!), sondern war ich auch noch geschw&#228;cht vom im letzten Bericht erw&#228;hnten Sommer-Event-Trubel.</p><p>Aber genau 5 min. vor Er&#246;ffnung stand alles und konnte sich sehen lassen, und schien gegen mein eigenes nicht wohlmeinendes Bauchgef&#252;hl &#8222;professionell und beeindruckend umfassend&#8220; gewirkt zu haben. Ich habe mich an diesem Abend mit gro&#223;em Interesse dem Sektausschank gewidmet und am n&#228;chsten Tag dem Ausschlafen und Nichtstun. Letzteres eine Disziplin, die mir oft eher schwerf&#228;llt, aber diesmal mit gelegentlichen Kontrollen von meinem Well-Being-Beauftragten Anton gut ausge&#252;bt wurde.</p><div

starten ab Mittwoch in unseren Roadtrip als Trio: Laurence, Anton und ich. Ich erwarte eine mind. verfilmungsw&#252;rdige Storyline, wie jeder andere Roadtrip-Streifen, nur mit etwas mehr Qigong, Krustentieren und romantisierten Spieleabenden.</p><p>Und nat&#252;rlich, wie in jeder Podcast-Urlaubsfolge, werde auch ich noch eine Kulturb&#252;rger-Leseliste haben. Meine besteht allerdings nur aus zweien, da ich statt einer Leseratte eher eine Leseschnecke bin. Das w&#228;ren dann wohl <em>&#8222;Rage Becomes Her&#8220;</em> von Soraya Chemaly, welches ich f&#252;r meine female Rage-Recherche seit Monaten immer wieder hernehme und einfach ein unfassbar gut zu lesendes Buch ist, das eine Passage nach der anderen raushaut, die meine innere Wut sanft aufk&#246;cheln l&#228;sst. Und es begleitet mich <em>&#8222;Banal Nightmare&#8220; </em>von Halle Butler, auf das ich sehr gespannt bin und das eher bes&#228;nftigende Urlaubslekt&#252;re sein soll.</p><p>Und nun w&#252;nsche ich jedem, der gerade noch in den Urlaub geflohen oder wieder zur&#252;ckgekehrt ist, einen &#8222;Hot Chill Summer&#8220;. Und nun w&#228;re eventuell ein Cosmopolitan doch angebracht.

It feels like that continental distance never existed, nicely normal. Homey. Exactly what I need right now, after the last few wild weeks. So here I am, Carrie Bradshaw-esque, except with a warm broth, in leggings and an oversized hoodie instead of a Cosmopolitan, a cigarette, and Manolo Blahniks, writing this Field Report No. 3.</p><p>The first two and a half weeks of August had felt like a marathon I ran completely untrained, just swept along. Because the exhibition build for <em>&#8220;Media Art is here&#8221;</em> caught me as off guard as every religious holiday in spring does, the kind where, overcome with panic, I rush into the packed supermarket to stock up for the 24 hours with nothing open. This exhibition build was much the same, plenty of half-started ideas from <em>&#8220;FURIE&#8221;</em> had to be knocked into some kind of presentable shape, both the confessional booth I&#8217;d bought shortly before for an installation where visitors can confess their rage stories to me, and the video I&#8217;d shot just 6 days before the opening. So it turned into a deadline rush of a special kind, because not only do I already hate those anyway (I&#8217;m a planning freak!), I was also worn down from the summer event whirlwind mentioned in my last report.</p><p>But exactly 5 minutes before the opening, everything was standing and looked presentable, and against my own less than kindly gut feeling, it apparently came across as &#8220;professional and impressively comprehensive.&#8221; That evening I devoted myself with great interest to the sparkling wine, and the next day to sleeping in and doing nothing. The latter a discipline that&#8217;s often hard for me, but this time practiced well thanks to occasional check-ins from my Well-Being Officer Anton.</p><div

Those would be<em> &#8220;Rage Becomes Her&#8221;</em> by Soraya Chemaly, which I&#8217;ve been picking up again and again for months now for my female rage research, and which is simply an incredibly readable book, throwing out one passage after another that gently brings my inner rage to a simmer.

meine gute Freundin und talentierte Performancek&#252;nstlerin Natalia Di Cosmo zu Besuch. Sie hat mir wieder gen&#252;gend Italy-Energie und meinem crappy Italienisch eine B&#252;hne geboten. Au&#223;erdem hat sie mit mir den <strong>Workshop Simmering</strong> &#252;ber zwei Tage geleitet. Dort haben wir als kleine Gruppe weiblich sozialisierter Personen das Gef&#252;hl vor dem Ausbruch der Wut erforscht und in Gesten und eine Choreografie transformiert. Das war eine enorm bereichernde Erfahrung, f&#252;r die ich dankbar bin. Ich kann dem Vertrauen der Teilnehmenden in uns gar nicht genug Respekt zollen. Es kam eine sehr intensive Choreografie dabei heraus. Viele Wut-Geschichten wurden mit mir geteilt. Sie haben mir das Gef&#252;hl gegeben, dass es diese Orte wirklich braucht, wo wir Wut aussprechen, f&#252;hlen und produktiv mit ihr umgehen d&#252;rfen. Diese Erfahrung hat Natalia und mich nicht nur etwas ersch&#246;pft und w&#252;tend gemacht, sondern auch extrem inspiriert. Sie ist gleich in unser gemeinsames <strong>Performanceprojekt &#8220;I can&#8217;t&#8221;</strong> eingeflossen, an dem ich parallel zu FURIE arbeite.</p><p>Neben diesem Meilenstein wurde auch ein weiterer fertig, die F<strong>ahnen-Schwenk-Maschine</strong>, liebevoll &#8220;The Relentless&#8221; genannt. Meine motorbetriebene Skulptur schwingt unaufh&#246;rlich eine Protestfahne, als Symbol f&#252;r den Protest, der so lange dauert, wie es Gr&#252;nde gibt, noch w&#252;tend zu sein. Sie ist nun im studio h&#246; eingezogen und schwingt dort fr&#246;hlich vor sich hin.</p><p>Neben all den Events, die einander jagten, haben wir uns mit dem Lichtspielsauna e.V. direkt in diesen prall vollen Eventkalender eingereiht. Mit unserem j&#228;hrlichen <strong>Atelierfest &#8220;Out of Order&#8221;</strong>, kuratiert von Elisabeth Potemkin, Ausstellungsdesign von Lasse Peters. Es fand am ersten Augustwochenende statt, zwei wundersch&#246;ne Tage voll besonders auditiver neuer Eindr&#252;cke, unterschiedlichster Besuchender und einer Menge veganer Bratwurst.</p><p>Kaum war das abgebaut, sind wir auch schon im August gelandet. Gerade in diesem Moment stecke ich im Aufbau f&#252;r die Zwischenausstellung &#8220;<strong>Die Furien sind hier</strong>&#8221; im Rahmen des Festivals &#8220;Media Arts is here&#8221; der UNESCO Creative City of Media Arts Karlsruhe.

She gave me plenty of Italy energy and my crappy Italian a stage again. She also co-led the <strong>Simmering workshop</strong> with me over two days. There, as a small group of female-socialized people, we explored the feeling right before rage breaks out and transformed it into gestures and a choreography. That was an enormously enriching experience, one I&#8217;m grateful for. I can&#8217;t give enough respect to the trust the participants placed in us. A very intense choreography came out of it. Many rage stories were shared with me. They left me with the feeling that spaces like this are truly needed, spaces where we&#8217;re allowed to voice rage, feel it and deal with it productively. This experience didn&#8217;t just leave Natalia and me somewhat exhausted and angry, it also inspired us immensely. It flowed straight into our joint <strong>performance project &#8220;I can&#8217;t,&#8221;</strong> which I&#8217;m working on alongside FURIE.</p><p>Alongside this milestone, another one was completed too, the <strong>flag waving machine</strong>, affectionately named &#8220;The Relentless.&#8221; My motor driven sculpture relentlessly waves a protest flag, as a symbol for protest that lasts as long as there are reasons to still be angry. It has now moved into studio h&#246;, where it happily keeps waving away.</p><p>Amid all the events chasing one after another, we joined <strong>Lichtspielsauna e.V.</strong> in lining up in this packed events calendar too. With our annual <strong>summer festival &#8220;Out of Order,&#8221;</strong> curated by Elisabeth Potemkin, exhibition design by Lasse Peters. It took place on the first weekend of August, two beautiful days full of especially auditory new impressions, all kinds of visitors and a lot of vegan bratwurst.</p><p>No sooner was that taken down than we landed in August.
