[:da]Haubesuche var et værtsprojekt under Artgenda, hvor alle deltagende kunstnere skulle lave en event i et privat hjem i løbet af deres ophold i Hamburg. De private husværter var mere eller mindre forberedte på hvad der skulle foregå; deres eventuelt inviterede venner derimod sjældent! Man kunne bidrage med alt, lige fra at vise foto- eller videodokumentation fra tidligere arbejde til at inddrage de tilstedeværende gæster, skræddersy en event til en lejlighed med balkon og lignende.

Efter idé fra performer Burkhard Forstreuter skabtes Deutsches Liederabend, hvor de i første omgang måbende værter og gæster blev bedt om at synge med på diverse kendte tyske lieder og børnesange. Vi ankom i stiveste puds og opsatte videoprojektion og en “elektrisk lejr-ild” at samles om ved sofabordet. Efter nogle timer med heftig torden udenfor og sang, varmere stemmer og fortæring af dårlige chokolader indendørs afsluttede vi aftenen med en diskussion af nationalfølelse og det at synge sange. Se beskrivelse af aftenen nedenfor.

Opskrift for Deutsches Lieder Abend [:en]

All artists in ArtGenda had to devise a Hausbesuche/Housecalls, a ‘private event’ in a private home. The host project’s intention was to bring art into people’s private houses and where the hosts were more or less prepared and had some inkling about the nature of the event, the friends they invited over for the evening would not know what was in store! The event could literally be anything, from installation, exhibition, to documentation, performance, recycling moments from previous events during the week, etc.

On the idea of performer Burkhard Forstreuter, the event became a Deutsches Lieder AbendGerman Song Evening, where the surprised and intrigued hosts and their guests were asked to engage in a sing-a-long with Burkhard and Christine. The songs they were asked to sing were well known German folk songs and children songs. Dressed up in formal eveningwear Burkhard and Christine gathered the ‘audience’ around the video projector and an artificial camp fire. After hours of singing accompanied by the sound of heavy thunder outside, consumption of cheap chocolate and spurred on by the theme of singing, the evening came to a close with a debate about national pride and identity.
