October 17 evening with Pierre Bal-Blanc and choreographer Manuel Pelmuş who contributed to the performance of the score in Vienna in June.


The score “Collective Exhibition for a Single Body” was written by Pierre Bal-Blanc in 2015 in Athens. An arrangement was performed for the first time at documenta 14 (The “documenta 14 Score”), and Kontakt Collection of Vienna commissioned a second project. Works from the Kontakt Collection by the Eastern European avant-garde movements of Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia eluded the commercial marketing of their time yet nonetheless also resisted the communist ideological conformity characteristic of that era. The performance of the new arrangement in a Lidl supermarket in Vienna in June marks a contemporary form of reconnection to the social environment which had originally been held at bay.
