Andrea Fraser
Andrea Fraser’s work is an on-going investigation of what we want from art. She has used performance, video, and a range of other media to explore the motivations that drive artists, collectors, art dealers, corporate sponsors, museum trustees and museum visitors, from the pursuit of prestige to financial investment to sexual fantasy to self-realization. Developing on site-specific and research-based practices that emerged with conceptualism, combined with feminist investigations of subjectivity and desire, her methods are rooted in the psychoanalytic principle that one can only impact structures and relationships in the immediate performance. She is Professor in the Department of Art at the University of California Los Department and is visiting faculty at the Whitney Independent Study Program.
Fraser will speak about her work and the challenge of conceiving any way to participate in the art field that do not seem completely bankrupt and compromised.

She works in video, photo-text, installation, sculpture, and performance, and writes on aspects of culture. She is a renowned teacher and has lectured widely, nationally and internationally. Rosler's work is centered on everyday life and the public sphere, often with an eye to women's experience. Recurrent concerns are the media and war as well as architecture and the built environment, from housing and homelessness to systems of transport.
Her work in numerous international solo- and group exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale of 2003; the Liverpool Biennial and the Taipei Biennial (both 2004); as well as many major international survey shows, including Open Systems at the Tate Modern (2005).

A retrospective of her work, "Positions in the Life World," was shown in five European cities and at the International Center of Photography and the New Museum for Contemporary Art (both in New York).
Rosler has published ten books of photography, art, and writing. Among them are Decoys and Disruptions: Selected Essays 1975-2001 (MIT Press, 2004, An October Book, in conjunction with the International Center of Photography), the photo books Passionate Signals (Cantz, 2005), In the Place of the Public: Airport Series (Cantz, 1997), and Rites of Passage (NYFA, 1995). If You Lived Here (Free Press, 1991) addresses her Dia project on housing, homelessness, and urban life.

Consume
Bar
Consume
Montag, 14. November 2011, 19 Uhr, Lichthalle
Consume is an improvised mobile bar that has no fixed time, location or staff. It may generally be found by word of mouth and operates primarily in the public space, sometimes tied into an art event and at other times by appropriating a part of the city for its own purposes.
The serial Consume bar was initiated in early November 1991 by three architecture students of the Frankfurt Städelschule, Jim Dudley, Christian Pantzer and Tony Hunt, primarily to provide a locus for interaction between the disciplines of art and architecture.
The hardware of the bar, standing as a metaphor for architecture, consists of a Bricolage of junk, essentially an old surfboard which is balanced on crates of beer. As the bar is mobile, at times even self-propelled, the locations become part of software along with the customers with their various alcoholic and musical lubrications.
The classical hierarchy of architecture in relation to its users and location, or Genius Loci, is turned around so that the ultimate shaper is no longer the architect but the throng of the customers themselves. This has been known to be rather unsettling, but we persist.
Christian Pantzer, *1962, Studium an der HfBK Städelschule-
Architekturklasse 1989 - 1993, lebt und arbeitet in Frankfurt.
Tony Hunt, *1964, Studium an der Univeristy of Brighton 1985 - 1988, UCL Bartlett School of Architecture London 1989-1991, HfBK Städelschule Architekturklasse 1991 - 1993, lebt und arbeitet in Frankfurt und London.
Daniel Kohl, *1967, Studium der Bildenden Kunst an der Cooper
Union in New York City 1986 - 1991 und an der HfBK Städelschule 1992 - 1997 bei Thomas Bayrle, lebt und arbeitet in Frankfurt.
James Dudley *1966, Born in Tooting South London. Studied at Bath University, Bartlett school of Architecture, University College London and Stadelschul Architekturklasse 1991-92. Lives and Works in Zurich as a creative director for spatial communication.
