Momus on John Bock's Medusa im Tam Tam Club
An artist friend who lives in Berlin was in town last week, and over dinner she mentioned her admiration for the fact that German artists like John Bock and Jonathan Meese were expanding their practice and creating pieces for the theater. As she noted, theater is an art form appreciated by a far broader public in Germany than elsewhere (or, for that matter, than contemporary art in galleries and museums). Over the weekend Bock presented the last of five performances of his new work, Medusa im Tam Tam Club, at the Staatsoper in Berlin, and Momus has just posted a report, with pictures, on his site.
