Berliner Kurier, 2013 on Sebastian Bieniek's performance in front of the Deutsche Banke Kunsthalle.
In the struggle for inexpensive attention and the reputation of a charitable patron, the makers of Deutsche Bank got an idea at the beginning of 2013.
It was to open the gates for a single day to all the thousands and thousands of unemployed Berlin artists. Just the thought that this, in itself, self-evident has a special status, should make you think.
Be that as it may, Deutsche Bank was so gracious to have the Berlin artist exhibited for a day and thus celebrate itself as a heroine.
The procedure for the advertising stunt for the opening of the Deutsche Bank Kunsthalle in Berlin was as follows: Everyone can show their work of art for a day in the Deutsche Bank Kunsthalle and, in addition, two to three selected people will receive a prize of € 500.
During the exhibition you can be asked to pay again and sweeten the entrance with € 12 bounty.
An action whose genius is only surpassed by the contempt for human beings on which it is based.
