What happens to a work of art when it leaves the studio? Does it change? Does a bond develop with the person who owns it? In her performance, Birgit Zinner looks into the relationships between artist, work of art and owner. In a staged talk show, while interviewing herself in her studio, she also addresses people who purchased her work. All her pieces made after 1985 are interrelated and part of a bigger whole. They are figurative models that expand the aspect of painting within which the relationship of the subject, the object and the space encounters the idea of a simultaneous production and reflection. The “live” talk show at the Kunsthalle Wien Karlsplatz is a contrived play which focuses on the communication of art and features concepts of spontaneity, time, authenticity and deception. Interviewing herself, the artist demands or denies a statement and specifies or deviates a topic. Is there an entity to a work of art or is the work of art an entity itself? Where does the piece begin and where does it end?
