Brussels: 50n50 4e20
The public performance "otherREICH" has been realised on the 18th of March 2000 in Brussels (Belgium), by André Demagriën (from the Belgian artistic and activist group OBSCURESCENCE) and by Annabelle Dupret (Belgian artist and art historian).
It has been immediately realised in reaction to the accession to power of the extreme right Austrian leader Jorg Haider.
This performance was based on two archetypal symbols used by extreme right nationalistic movements : ground and blood. It was also based on the works made in the 60's by Viennese Actionists like Hermann Nitsch, Günter Brus and others....next
