Too Soon To Say - The Unconference

Drawing inspiration from the "Global-Art-Fusion" project by Beuys, Higashiyama and Warhol (1985), this FAX ART project brings together three artists to send each other fax drawings that interact with each other. Based in Munich, Tokyo, and New York, SORRY FAX ONLY creates a global artistic production, live and direct, that can whisper down the lane, compose cadavres exquis… t’s an exchange with one rule only: no rules. Unless, maybe, that each artist has to react to the faxed drawing within 5 minutes.

It is scheduled to happen on two Saturdays: May 3 and May 10 2025. These dates are not arbitrary: On May 3, Masanao Hirayama will be faxing from TOKIO in Tokyo. On May 10, Martin Fengel will be faxing from Bayerischer Hof in Munich. Both interventions, one at a book fair, one during the art festival marathon ‚too soon to say‘, take place in a hotel setting, they are performative and open to public. Latter will also lead to an almost immediate show at Sorry Square in Munich that will start in the second half of the Various Others program and open already on May 11.

But wait, there’s more: Sorry Press will publish SORRY FAX ONLY as an art book which will be launched at the Tokyo Art Book Fair in December 2025. In sum, this project is an artistic interaction, a performance, one or many exhibitions and an art book. And perhaps perhaps the beginning of a non ongoing book series.

In her performance gestures in space, Düsseldorf-based artist Daniela Georgieva physically and choreographically explores the historic Montgelas Hall at the Bayerischer Hof. She weaves gesture into gesture transforming them into sculptural movements and embodied forms. Focusing intently on one body part at a time, Georgieva investigates its relationship to the body as a whole as well as to movement and space. Through this process she creates, restructures or discards physical and choreographic patterns and radically reconceptualizes them.

Daniela Georgieva is originally from Bulgaria and now lives and works in Düsseldorf. Since 2016 she has focused exclusively on dance and performance art and created mostly solo pieces and original choreographies.

The performance will be followed by an artist talk and was suggested by Kunstraum München for the Unconference.
