Around 1995, the Belgian artist Trudo Engels decided he no longer wanted to be known by his name. So he created the collective Various Artists, composed of 24 fictitious artists, each with a different personality, and each of whom are him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Der belgische K\u00fcnstler spielt also permanent Karneval und schl\u00fcft mal in die Rolle eines abstrakten Malers, in die einer Splatter-Installateurin, in die eines Minimalisten, die eines radikalen Hungerk\u00fcnstlers usw., l\u00e4sst die K\u00fcnstler auch untereinander kollaborieren oder bietet in Workshops anderen Leuten an, einmal in die Rolle von diesem oder jener zu schl\u00fcpfen. Es handelt sich um folgende, von Engels akribisch ausgearbeitete K\u00fcnstler:<\/p>\n

For each VA, Trudo Engels has created a database containing their personal information: a CV, portraits, works, studios, stories, articles, etc. These archives form the basis of the Being an Artist sessions.
\nThey were created, on the one hand, to develop further the VA, on the other to make them available to other artists (AV: Artistes V\u00e9ritables, i.e., real, actual artists), who thus have the opportunity to free themselves of their own artistic practice. The VA are thus evolving towards a collective conceptual thought, an open structure accessible to all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Beispielsweise wurde in der Luisa Strina Gallery in Sao Paulo eine Arbeit des Kollektivs ausgestellt, ein Zuckerschloss, begleitet von Performances und Theoriearbeiten.<\/p>\n

Schon Jorge Luis Borges hat gerne mit fiktiven Biografien gespielt, z.B. in Pierre Menard, Autor des Don Quixotte<\/a>, wo ein Autor komplett das Leben von Cervantes nachspielen will, sodass er dann quasi automatisch den Don Quixotte wortw\u00f6rtlich schreiben w\u00fcrde.<\/p>\n

Und was ist mit der Musik? Da w\u00e4re so ein Konzept nat\u00fcrlich auch m\u00f6glich; was k\u00f6nnte man da nicht f\u00fcr kuriose, vielversprechende Komponistenleben entwerfen? – theoretisch. Aber praktisch ist derlei gar nicht vorgesehen, strukturell fast unm\u00f6glich (was soll denn die GEMA davon halten?). Schande! (Jennifer Walshe hat mal ein bisschen was in die Richtung gemacht, und Mike Svoboda<\/a> (danke, Paul!).)<\/p>\n
