Performance: LEILA CMAJCANIN (BA): Dobrodošli / Welcome / Willkommen (2006)
Do you have someone to guarantee for you at the exhibition? Maybe you 
are dangerously young or you might want to stay at the Kunstraum 
Kreuzberg forever? Broke? Better be well prepared for the exhibition! 
After many days of waiting in front of different EU Embassies to finally 
be able to answer brutally private and from rather objective point of 
view irrelevant questions – Sarajevo based artist Leila Cmajcanin in her 
collaborative and highly interactive performance Welcome shares with us 
emotions outlived and seen by herself at visa procedures.

JANA PREPELUH (Sl): Down to Earth (2007)
Based on her own experience as an artist without formal education, Jana 
Prepeluh researches – via a shoe cleaning street action Down To Earth – 
the attitude to non-material or manual work by overworked alienated 
individuals in a society where work is still associated with social 
status. By investigating different reactions – looking up to, or down 
upon – the artist unintentionally brings out prejudices constructing the 
subject's moral full of myth and fake assumptions.

Karasssuite: Performance with Ana Filip (RO/SK), Barbara Huber (AT/SK)
The karasssuite is a multidisciplinary project that allows for a variety 
of artists from different backgrounds to collaborate on a complex media 
piece based on quotes from 'Cat's Craddle' by Kurt Vonnegut (1963). The 
pieces from the artists are being uploaded on the database and that is 
the starting point for the performance - the database is used in a real 
time situation as a source of material for the performance itself. 
Menschen haben Krizen is a collective name for all the artists 
participating in the project. This time Menschen haben Krizen are a! 
visual chaosdroid (RO/SK),
b# (AT/SK) and joining in from Taipei Ana Threat (AT/CN).

Lady Gaby (RO/DE): 'From a tea lady into a sexfly'
An interactive spoken word performance that will start with a 'private 
and intimate performance' in the public toilet inside Kunstraum 
Kreuzberg /Bethanien House and travel into the Main Hall. Through spoken 
word, electro beats and interactive actions, Lady Gaby will claim and 
change her role from a tea lady, into a powerful 'SEXFLY', using 
technological means that has liberated women such as vacuum cleaner, 
typewriters, dildoes, tape recorders, slide projectors, and CD players.

Dj Set: Balkan beat, gypsy, klezmer, sevdah
DJane Spoma (HR/DE) is one of the first promoters of alternative Balkan 
parties in Munich. Long before Europe was infected with Balkan beat 
fever and even before Let 3 convinced us that there is something about 
the pathos of "genuine pop-folk singers" à la Saban Saulic, Toma 
Zdravković and - after all - also Hanka Paldum, DJane Spoma had punched 
true "underground" arrows into the ears of the Balkan diaspora and fans 
of former Yugoslavia.

Lili Bustard and Freak (Performance and Dj Set)
Hairstyling in electro tech house rythm
Lil Bustard aka Gog M (PL) (NoiseBand/me.ne.le/LuzZtro Club - Warsaw) - 
the music preferences of Gosia Machnikowska - alias Goga M - were 
formed during endless nights spent in (not only) Warsaw clubs. 
Fascinated by all possible  subtypes of techno - she decided to stand 
the decks herself in the  middle of 2004. In 2005 she fall in love with 
  electro. She start laying electro-house and eventually exploring  the 
harder types of the genre. The music she plays today can be  summarized 
as "electro-tech-porno-house". Together with Ania Orzechowska they are 
making a party called "Hersprey" were Ania is styling hair of some 
people and Lil is DJing in the same time.
