Reece Cox
Poser (Backstage)
On 27 May 2025 at 6 pm, we are pleased to screen a video work by Reece Cox at CCA Berlin, which documents a Poser performance at Volksbühne’s Roter Salon last December. The screening will be followed by a conversation between Reece Cox and Mathis Neuhaus, one of the curators of Spring 25.
Reece Cox’s project Poser is a fictional music group without fixed members. By adopting and simultaneously deconstructing the band as a readymade cultural form, Poser serves primarily as a vehicle for producing images and live performances that challenge and contaminate notions such as artistic authenticity, experimentation, and performativity.
The conversation will be held in English.
