“Crisp paint, corner calculations, exposed concrete and gastric endorser cheap Prosecco.
Even though all of these aspects feel incredible, what I am missing is pure didacticism. Throw away the hedonistic values of the space, throw away the toilets, throw away anything which could pull the audience away from the artwork.”
The BERG, born as Berk Tuncer, is a Munich based conceptual artist working in the fields of performance, installation, text and video.
Forming his works around how to position himself as the image of a perfectly validated artist in a perfectly validated space, the artist connects himself and prolongs the procedure of each work for over-time durations. Pushing the crowd either to join the works or restrict them from ever interacting, his works evolve around finding the best and worst pressure points, whilst underlining his existence in combination with the works.
