Seven Messengers
31st October – 6th December 1998
Contribution to the exhibition „Stillehalten“
Künstlerwerkstatt Lothringer Straße, Munich, Germany

On a walk through the Haidhausen district of Munich, Gislason collected all kinds of notices stuck to walls, etc. by individuals, including a large number of circulars on new and unusual approaches to life. Gislason selected six such notices and called up the originators, not to take part in the events but to provide them space at the exhibition as a forum for their messages. The objects and installations, which the artist created on the basis of conversations and interaction with the participants, were financed with exhibition funds.

Participants: · Edeltraud Hummy Educational sociologist employed at the East Munich Jobless Centre · Hedda Rösler Zen Sesshin and zazen teacher · Roland O. Receiver of messages from higher beings · Alexandra Raskin “Schau & Spiel“ – psychologicaluranical improvisation theatre · Alice Höbel Natural health practitioner in a joint practice for classical homeopathy · Nomi Zayed & Merav Kuhle “RAUM“ encounter groups for adults.
