This catalogue is published on the occasion of the two group exhibitions “The only performances that make it all the way…” and “Yes, but is it performable? Investigations on the Performative Paradox” which were shown at Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien in 2013 and 2016.

Following the 2015 exhibition “Florian Hecker/John McCracken” at Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien Graz, this publication probes the experimental capacity of the white-cube space of the gallery. For the exhibition, two complementary yet autonomous artists were brought into dialogue with each other: German artist and computer composer Florian Hecker, and the late American sculptor John McCracken.
