Hermann Nitsch will be central guest at Incubate 2009.

Blood. Horror. Filth. Beauty? Rationality? Education? These are some of the ingredients the Austrian artist Hermann Nitsch uses and some of the questions his work raises. Highly controversial for some, highly regarded by others; Nitsch is someone you need to have an opinion on. Not to have one is not possible once you’ve seen the work of one of the instigators of performance art. Incubate gives you the opportunity to see one of the most important artists that influenced performance art at work on his actions, music and philosophy.

Surrounding this special guest, there will be a program with artists that were influenced by this artistic innovator.
