MARCUS SENDLINGER

SALOON 1994


GARTNER´S GALLERY, FRANKFUR/M., GERMANY.

INSTALLATION, PAINTING, PERFORMANCE, HAPPENING.


I INSTALLED (IN THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT IN FRANKFURT/ MAIN) A MOVIE ALIKE CLICHE´WESTERN SALOON WITH PAINTED PANORAMA, A SALOON WITH SWINGING ARM DOORS, ACTORS / ACTRESSES  WHO SERVED ONLY BOURBON WHISKEY, ROUND TABLES FOR POKER GAMES, MUSICIANS WHO ONLY PLAYED OLDTIME COUNTRY AND WESTERN MUSIC, DRESSED ADAQUATELY, DESERT SAND FLOOR IN THE FRONT OF THE SALOON, A GOLDMINE IN THE CORNER. IN THE SALOON I INSTALLED PAINTINGS I DID FOR THIS INSTALLATION. PEOPLE WHO CAME FROM THE OUTSIDE WERE BEWILDERED CAUSAE THEY MIGHT HAVE WANTED TO GO TO A STRIP CLUB AND LANDED IN A STRANGE MOVIE. IT´S LIKE YOU WOULD STEP IN A PAINTING.
