BBB Johannes Deimling Frankfurter Allee 17 + D – 10247 Berlin Wielkokacka 10/45 + PL – 81611 Gdynia bbb@bbbjohannesdeimling.de www.bbbjohannesdeimling.deBBB Johannes Deimling was born 1969 in Andernach at the river Rhein. He presents since 1988 international his acted images (agierte Bilder), that he creates with the artistical media of the performance. These life images (agierte Bilder) first exists as a concept, as an idea. Without previous practise the actions will be carry out in the moment of the public presentation. This process is similar for example to painting in which the brush leaves its tracks on the canvas. The temporary image remains in the rememberings of the audience. His ideas and suggestions Deimling finds in the banality of the everday life. Themes like patience, will, success, war, religion and locomotion the artist transforms into physical actions – in acted images (agierte Bilder). This term he uses also for his videoworks and performativ drawings. For BBB Johannes Deimlings opinion there is no other artistic media exsiting that is more immediate, more communicative and more actual like the art performance. Performance is a radicalized process, that combines the creation of an art work, its presentation, the effect, the reception and the reflection. This is a value, that relates more to the field of life than to the museal meaning of art. 1992 Deimling finished pedagogics studies in Cologne. The combination of performative art and pedagogics is for Deimling an interesting working subject, because it can touch many fields of everyday life and help to understand complexe situations and theories. The transformative power of performancepedagogics (Deimling, 2000) is a perfect connecting link between different medias. A contact- and communicationmodule: from a spoken word to a digital note. Since 1999 BBB Johannes Deimling developed the teaching concept for performance art ”TOOLS-and how to use them“. TOOLS do research on the field of performance-art and looks for processes, which suits to artistic education and are also effective for the personal developement of young peoples. The contents of the studies includes nearly all tools and workingfields of performance artists. TOOLS arranges also basics for the presentation for an own performance for peoples that have scarcely or no knowledge about contemporary art. Deimling works since 1999 as a teacher at the F+F, school for art and media design in Zürich, Switzerland and since 2004 as a teacher at the interdisciplinary art department of the art academy in Tallinn in Estonia. He gives international wide workshops, lectures and is publishing texts about this subject. BBB Johannes Deimling is also working as a curator and a contacter. 1998 he organized a.o. the 6th Performance-Art Conference OHNE STROM (unplugged) at the Neuen Berliner Kunstverein. Since 2000 he realized different Performance Art Events, a.o. private impact in Szczecin and Port Performance in Gdañsk, Poland. In cooperation with SAMISDAT he publish since 1996 various documentations about performance-artists and –festivals, as well as workingbrochures for teachers and dozents. Since 2006 he gives out the Performance Art Information List PAIL, a collection of websites of organisations, artists and festivals related to performance-art. agierte Bilder / Performance (selection) 2006 Trust, Duo with A.
