Piene, Otto (Laasphe 1928 - 2014 Berlin, studied at the KA Munich and Düsseldorf, co-founder of the artist group ZERO, painter and graphic artist), (Laasphe 1928 - 2014 Berlin, studied at the KA Munich and Düsseldorf, co-founder of the artist group ZERO, painter and graphic artist), "Sky TV", 1986/2007, DVD, labelled P (proof). Provenance: received directly from the artist; private property Charlotte Moorman, the famous performance artist and cellist, plays a free interpretation of non-cello sounds based on a drawing by Nam June Paik under the direction of Otto Piene in front of a running video camera. The drawing is shown briefly at the beginning of the video. A music stand is a clearly visible part of the scenery. The drawing lying on it remains hidden from the viewer due to the frontal camera angle. Charlotte Moorman is wearing a crimson evening dress. It is one of her favourite dresses, which was given to her by one of her New York fashion designers out of appreciation . The colour can be interpreted as a signal of Charlotte Moorman's dignity and freedom. She places her entire oeuvre and her virtuosity at the service of the contemporary avant-garde. At the time of the recording of Sky TV, she was already seriously ill with cancer. Five years later, she died as a result of her illness. Charlotte Moorman's performance is divided into three 'acts' - analogous to the three monitors indicated in Paik's drawing. Otto Piene himself chooses the caesuras in the post-production, following the inner quality of the performance. At the end of the third act, we hear applause from Otto Piene, who then enters the picture himself to congratulate and thank the artist. This ends the recording. This video work can be seen as an independent work by Otto Piene. It is not merely a recording of a performance from the past, but the post-production by Otto Piene gives the recording its very own performative character.
