Peter
Fengler (1964, NL) is
an explicit performer who, in this performance, comes up with a story
based on the
theme “BAROQUE,
NON-BAROQUE: A Story of Proportionism,” which utilizes a
unique polymorphous construction
in which indicators in the form of “suggestions” play the leading
role. In
other words, he seeks to redefine nuance from a musico-linguistic
angle. The repercussions of this approach can be found in his
self-cut vinyl record productions, performances, written texts and
lectures. The work invariably reverberates somewhere between
intellectual pursuits and nonsense, expresses a fondness for
“ultrahobbyism,” and is characterized by its subversive
undertones with all of its related disturbing lucidity and
preferences for a decided anti-aesthetic. It is both a
commentary on contemporary political issues as well as a reflection
on the medium and the scene itself. Ultimately, it is not what it
appears to be while, at the same time, it is nothing more than what
it is.
Fengler is
also the co-founder and key figure of DE PLAYER, a venue dedicated to
the performative arts, experimental music and visual arts. DE
PLAYER’s record label produces limited audio-visual editions in
exquisite multimedia packaging by artists working in the sound and
visual arts.
