“The Potential in Obstacles”
Lisa Epp in conversation with BBB Johannes Deimling.
The interview was part of Lisa’s state examination thesis at the University of Leipzig with research topic “Aspects of Resistance in Art Education-Mediated Performance Practice.”.
PAS | Performance Art Studies is an independent art and educational research platform founded by German artist and pedagogue BBB Johannes Deimling. Since 2008, PASÂ is offering intensive studies, performance art workshops, courses and masterclasses for anyone interested in this art form.
The goal of PAS is to provide a comprehensive form of learning and teaching in the process of Performance Art practice, theory and philosophy.
PAS understands performance art as a social art practice that is rooted within the visual arts. This viewpoint is the base of how we understand performance art education.
At the center of our work is the artistic research process, an open and dynamic working atmosphere focused on finding out together how performance art can be used as a tool in art and society.
“We don’t know the answers to everything. But we are curious to find out together, by experimenting. Asking questions might not lead us to answers, but to other questions. Not knowing is a perfect condition for making art.”
BBB Johannes Deimling
PAS | Artistic Director and Founder
BBB Johannes Deimling and Monika Deimling are the core team of PAS supported by various artists and institutions. As visual artists and educators they aim to change the way performance art has been produced and conceptualised over time. Their shared interest is to use the practice, theory and philosophy of performance art to shape an ongoing shifting research process that reaches beyond art to reshape our perceptions and action strategies.
Since its foundation, PAS has developed into a community of artists, researchers and educators who explore performance art as a tool for social action and the activation of individual and collective action to share this knowledge with other fields within and beyond the arts.
