>The project offers a unique opportunity to re-experience and analyze a
>series of classic performances as a number of international artists from a
>younger generation have been invited to re-enact important performances=
 from
>the 1960s and 70s. The reenactments comprise open copies based on original
>documentation (film, photographs as well as written and oral statements),
>interpretations of the original performance, co-operations with the=
 original
>artist and entirely new works, which are only loosely based on an older
>performance. While the performances will take place on Friday and Saturday
>(Saturday repetition of the previous evening), the third evening will be
>dedicated to a panel discussion for the evaluation of the project.
>Participants of the panel are the artists of A Little Bit of History
>Repeated, Dorothea von Hantelmann, a freelance curator and critic and Jens
>Hoffmann. The aim of the project is to analyze the fundamental=20
>characteristics
>of performance art and its relationship to the art object and the idea of=
 the
>archive, as well as to explore questions of method, techniques,=
 development,
>movement, authorship, conservation and documentation.
>
>Following the panel discussion and based on the idea of the project A=
 Little
>Bit of History Repeated, the performance class Abramovic of the Hochschule
>f=FCr Bildende K=FCnste, Braunschweig, will perform a number of=
 performances,
>which have been created during a seminar led by Marina Abramovic and Jens
>Hoffmann.
>
>Accompanying the project a bilingual, German-English publication will be
>published, comprising texts by Jens Hoffmann and the individual artists.
>(Published by Kunst-Werke in collaboration with Edition Valerio,
