Abstract: | ‘Nietzsche Salutes HRH.the’ was a performance lecture presented at Tanzquartier Vienna as part of ‘FWF PEEK-Projekt Artist Philosophers. Philosophy AS arts-Based-Research’ (University of Applied Arts Vienna & Institute of Philosophy, University of Vienna). Reeve’s lecture, part academic paper, asked after what art and philosophy respectively ‘do’ in light of the challenging comment made by Robert Filliou in 1970 that, “Art is what makes life more interesting than art” and advocated for a potential lacuna of agency to open up between the two disciplines. The lecture also served as an endurance performance since the artist gave it whilst holding two large wooden painters pallets up above her head in the position of ‘speech marks’ to her body. Reeve was also wearing a canvas apron which was itself part of a large canvas sheet attached to the theatre scaffold tower. Instead of a painting, the canvas supported two books in large pockets: “The Art of Philosophy” by Peter Sloterdijk (2012) “Essays on the Blurring of Art” and Life by Allan Kaprow (1993) |
