John Duncan

TAP INTERNAL
Concert

In the context of the MAK exhibition 'out of actions AKTIONISMUS, BODY ART
& PERFORMANCE 1949 - 1979', on view until September 6, the American
performance artist John Duncan will perform the concert TAP
INTERNAL on September 3rd in the MAK Lecture Hall at 7 p.m. TAP INTERNAL
will be presented in complete darkness.

Duncan's performances and electronic-acoustical compositions always affect
the physical and mental conditions of his audience. He works with hard cuts
between meditative and sudden outbursting noise or screaming which
intensely reflect the constraints, contingencies, and limits of human
existence.

Duncan is renowned for his radical performances of the 80's. BLIND DATE
(1980), a performance which deals with the conflicts between sexuality and
social order, ends with the vasectomy of the artist. One of his last
performances, KICK, was presented at the Pathology and Anatomy Museum in
Vienna on a seventeenth century dissecting-table.

Other important works released on CD are THE CRACKLING, RIVER IN FLAMES and
KLAAR.
