Episode 1: The Essence of Performance
In the inaugural episode of Unbound, hosts Line Ajan and Lisa Long have an introductory conversation about the exhibition “Unbound: Performance as Rupture”, followed by an interview with performance scholar Peggy Phelan about the influential definition of performance delineated in her 1993 seminal book Unmarked. The Politics of Performance. Phelan sheds light on the ethical and political dimensions of performance, and how the documentation and reproduction of performative practices shifts their essence – themes that are also central to the exhibition. This illuminating conversation with Phelan is interspersed with excerpts from another conversation we had with artist peter campus, whose 1973 video Three Transitions is the first artwork encountered by visitors of the exhibition. We end with comments sent to us by journalist Marilena Borriello. Sonic excerpts from Pipilotti Rist’s 1988 video (Entlastungen) Pipi’s Fehler (1988), also on view in the show, resonate with the disruptive power of performance mentioned by Phelan. Hosts and Editors: Line Ajan, Assistant Curator, and Lisa Long, Artistic Director Julia Stoschek Foundation Direction and Editorial: Luise Pilz Producer: Sören Hochberg, Parasomnia Podcast Production Jingles and musical theme: Audio excerpts from works that are part of the exhibition, including mandla and Graham Clayton-Chance’s work as british as a watermelon (2021), Vaginal Davis’s video The White to Be Angry (1999), and Pipilotti Rist’s work (Entlastungen) Pipilottis Fehler (1988). These last two works are also part of the the Julia Stoschek Collection Graphic Design: Bureau Borsche

Episode Nine: Jesse Darling (IV)
This is the fourth and final episode of poetry readings attached to the exhibition A FIRE IN MY BELLY. We have had the pleasure of listening to the artist Jesse Darling read a few poems of their own choosing, in dialogue with the poetry already included in the exhibition. Here, their readings and this series conclude with The Silver Birch by Liz Berry, Revolutionary Letter 2 by Dianne di Prima, and two poems by David Wojnarowicz, whose unfinished film A Fire In My Belly (Film In Progress) and A Fire In My Belly (Excerpt) 1986-87, is from where our exhibition takes its title. The two poems of his that Jesse will read are Poem to Brian Sleeping, and History Keeps me Awake Some Nights. We would like to take this moment to thank Jesse for reading to us all so beautifully, and for the spirited atmosphere in which these readings came together. Introduced by Eugene Yiu Nam Cheung, curatorial assistant of A FIRE IN MY BELLY and the Julia Stoschek Collection.

Episode Eight: Marion Scemama
Marion Scemama’s film “Self-Portrait in 23 Rounds: A Chapter in David Wojnarowicz’s Life 1989-1991” (2018) depicts the artist and activist David Wojnarowicz (1954–1992) speaking candidly about intimacy, desire, and the use of rage in his creative processes. Scemama—a close friend of Wojnarowicz’s—weaves an affecting portrait of a man who must reckon with his impending death in a society that refused to confront the AIDS epidemic. This film is based on a 4-hour interview conducted in May 1989 by cultural theorist Sylvère Lotringer (1938–2021)—founder of Semiotext(e)—a year after Wojnarowicz was diagnosed with HIV.
