Margarita Breitkreiz and Julia Thurnau are performing ClaudeHildes‘ social sculpture The Artist at Work.
Following on from the laziness congress at the Volksbühne am Rosa Luxemburg Platz in 2002, the utopian collective CLAUDEHILDE is reflecting on laziness as the basis of all creative work.
But female laziness becomes impossible through permanent self-optimization. With a big mustache we call for a revolution of lazy women, praising laziness and Malevic’s Suprematism, in the collection “Profi-Sorium” of the fashion designer Clara Kaesdorf.

Everybody dreams oft he happyness of lazyness. (Kasimir Malevic)

Laziness is the absence of movement and thought, dumb time – total amnesia. It is also indifference, staring at nothing, non-activity, impotence. It is sheer stupidity, a time of pain, futile concentration. Those virtues of laziness are important factors in art.
Knowing about laziness is not enough, it must be practised and perfected. (Mladen Stilinović)
