For the first time in their history, Australia’s only star formation of Concept Art – The Histrionics – are on tour in Germany, premiering their recently produced album Never Mind the Pollocks in cities including Berlin, Aachen, Bregenz, Dresden, Cologne, Luxembourg, Paris and others.
The Histrionics are absolute virtuosi of the energetic live act and theatrical stage show. They don’t just present a playful parody of Australia’s image as the second-hand market of world art activities. The band – sponsored on this tour by the Freundeskreis des Künstlerhauses Bethanien – also offer the sharpest commentary on Appropriation Art, Richard Serra, Carl Andre and the most important events of art history since the invention of cover bands.

Wednesday 9th July, Heeresbäckerei-kultur, Köpenicker St. 16, ground floor, east wing, 9 p.m.
