One Million / WORLD PERFORMANCE

Now living in Berlin, artist Uli Aigner produces wonderfully shaped and functional white receptacles, elegant and robust, art objects for daily use, to eat and drink out of.

It is her life project and will go well beyond it, as she plans to complete one million of them during her lifetime. She consequently marks out a trail through the world with every form of passing on, gifting and sending the objects – every receptacle is registered, photographed and recorded on a world map. Via the artist this then produces a traceable network of people who owned, own and will own the art objects; the story of a constantly growing participation simultaneously becomes part of her social artwork. She sees her life plan as “total artwork”, in which production, private life and the world form one entity.

For the “Eröffnungsfestival 100 jahre bauhaus” she presents a new world collection, with which she reacts to the Bauhaus forms. The 206 receptacles will be exhibited from 23 January, and during the opening the artist will “feed” guests from more than 200 countries invited to the vernissage. On this evening, the shared meal out of 206 receptacles becomes the performance.

The Bauhaus opening festival invites 206 people from all countries in this world who enjoy being part of a performative dinner to participate in Aigner's opening. Every participant receives the unique dish  -which is inspired by bauhaus forms- after the meal.
