Practices of artistic intervention:

Marty Huber / Love Attack

About the (performative) practice of feelings in queer-activist contexts

Wednesday, May 15, 2013, 7 p.m.

A lecture/performance about the practice of feelings leads us to the „erotic battelfields“ of queer-activist contexts, along postcolonial and queer theories, focusing on interventions in public space and the complex enmeshments of rage, love, pride aswell as the overcoming of fear. Departing from the „liberation of Christopher Street“ - riots of us-american queers in New York (1969) and their frivolous tactics, the lecture/performance turns to the (ambivalent) locations of european gay pride parades. The examples show national invocations, the entanglements of pride and commerce as well as attempts to blur the normative lines of public space.

Love Attack is another translation of partial aspects of Marty Huber´s PhD „Queer collectivity and performative practices“ and a resumption of the lecture/performance „Gender\===/Bending The Wall or Rain On Our Parade“.
