It is a great pleasure for the team of "GalerieRieRiemann" to welcome you on 24 hours of the euro-scene 2001 with the eighth 24-hour-exhibition titled "body/check". This eighth exhibition is a special guest showing by invitation from the organizers of euro-scene.

"GalerieRieRiemann's" first exhibition was in 1993 when three Leipzig artists; Thomas Matthaeus Müller, Andreas Tauber und Harald Alff, displayed their art works for 24 consecutive hours in an old unrenovated house in Leipzig. This concept was adopted by the people of two apartments at Riemannstraße 44 and kept alive by successive groups of culturally interested individuals.

The combination of an open theme, demonstration medium and the varied perspectives of the group of artists synergize to create an eclectic mix of art, thoughts and feelings packed into 24 hours.

The 24-hour-exhibition from "GalerieRieRiemann" is a non-profit project which thrives off the ideas, creativity and enthusiasm of the volunteers involved. As Leipzigs's only 24-hour-exhibition, our presentations are based on an idea generated from a title theme.

"body/check" will give artists an opportunity to present their individual interpretations and perspectives on the phrase "body/check". A variety of professional and burgeoning artists will experiment in mediums such as: music, dance, theatre, painting, photography, performance, installation, film, imagery and literature to explore the meaning behind the title phrase.

This year the exhibition will be shown in the nationally renowned Leipzig "Schauspielhaus". The main theatre and areas in the neighbourhood around the theatre will become the nucleas and playground for artists.

The partnership between "GalerieRieRiemann" and euro-scene 2001 will collide with a "body/check" for the climax of 24 hours of "LEIBESVISITATIONEN" euro-scene 2001.

Yours sincerely GalerieRieRiemann

The programme and schedule information for the 24-hour-exhibition "body/check will be available at the festival.
