Bob's Pogo Bar with Rosa Rendl
Opportunity Lover

invited by Barbara Rüdiger, curated by Maurin Dietrich and Cathrin Mayer in cooperation with KW Institute for Contemporary Art

Rosa Rendl’s work is rooted not only in fine arts, but also in music and fashion—all of which come together in her working process. For her concert at TROPEZ, Rendl presents songs of her not yet released solo album Opportunity Lover, staged surrounded by photo prints on textiles. Furthermore, she presents selected pieces of her swimwear label RENDL.

Bob's Pogo Bar with Kamilla Bischof and Laura Welker 
Muse Mustermann

curated by Maurin Dietrich and Cathrin Mayer in cooperation with KW Institute for Contemporary Art

I am sitting in the shade, an inflated clam sticks in my hair. A woman next to me has a hairdo made out of snakes. I am congratulating her on her look, saying goodbye politely and leaving to buy a lemonade at the black market.

Bob's Pogo Bar with Marshall Vincent
Frozé Afternoon & Trust Issues 

curated by Maurin Dietrich and Cathrin Mayer in cooperation with KW Institute for Contemporary Art

Marshall Vincent plays songs from his new album Trust Issues that evolves around relationships, fantasies and not taking love so seriously.

"They tell me that when you trust someone
you give a bit of yourself
you hope the other listens and takes care
But every time you say this
All I hear is me compromising for someone else
Someone who may not hold me together
I think I'm too selfish
I have trust issues.“

For the duration of Summer 2018, Bob’s Pogo Bar will find its temporary location at TROPEZ. Since 2017, every Thursday an artist organizes an evening at Bob’s Pogo Bar. Based on their own artistic practice, ephemeral and experimental events emerge, which can alternate between concerts, performances, plays, and film screenings and for which a special drink is served during the night. The curators Maurin Dietrich and Cathrin Mayer understand Bob’s Pogo Bar as a social space that reflects on the current diverse artistic production both locally and internationally. The bar follows the format of Bob’s Your Uncle, a bar that was held at Kunstverein in Amsterdam from 2014 to 2016, and refers to the Pogo Bar, which was a club in the basement of KW Institute for Contemporary Art around the turn of the millennium.
