Empfangshalle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Empfangshalle"
(Corbinian Böhm and Michael Gruber)

Empfangshalle (literally lobby) is the name of a German performing art duo. It was founded by Corbinian Böhm and Michael Gruber in Munich (Germany) in 1995.

Medium of their works is the society. They perform their art projects in the open, especially in popular places. Their art projects - more often than not - are a mystery to the viewers and often cause confusion. A typical example was the staged "Gei hin hol" [gei: hi:n ho:l] mega-poster action with incomprehensible foreign language messages in Munich (2005).
