Ein Rückblick auf die Residency befindet sich hier.

Die Installation präsentiert einen Film, der am Ende der Residency produziert und im Moby Dyke gedreht wurde. Er beinhaltet Livemusik von Cosy Pièround Meike Illig und eine Performance von Maximiliane Baumgartner und Mirja Reuter, die Teil ihres fortlaufenden, seriellen Projekts True Lives of Performers ist. Archivaufnahmen wurden dankenswerterweise vom Forum Homosexualität München zur Verfügung gestellt. Weitere Darsteller sind Maria Cincotta, Johanna Gonschorek, Philipp Gufler, Leo Heinik und Fabian Hesse.

This screening installation is one of the outcomes of a residency Richard John Jones conducted this past summer at Lothringer 13_Florida. Beginning with research into the lost lesbian and gay spaces in Munich, the residency included a tour of Munich’s lost lesbian venues by Ariane Rüdiger, the opening of a temporary lesbian bar called the Moby Dyke, a performance from artist Cosy Pièro and Meike Illig and the digitisation of photographs from Bei Cosy, a popular artist haunt throughout the 60s and 70s. A review of the various activities can be found here.
This installation showcases a film that was produced at the end of the residency and shot within the Moby Dyke. It features live music performed by the artist Cosy Pièro and Meike Illig and a performance by Maximiliane Baumgartner and Mirja Reuter which is part of their ongoing collaborative practice entitled True Lives of Performers. Archival footage included within the film is all courtesy of the Forum Homosexualität, Munich. The film also features performances by Maria Cincotta, Johanna Gonschorek, Philipp Gufler, Leo Heinik and Fabian Hesse.
