The Motivation Machine, 2022

Work must pay off! The Motivation Machine provides the worker with a well deserved pat on the back whenever it’s needed - ensuring improved work morale AND efficiency. This first prototype was successfully installed in the office of my beloved father, Hartmut Kurz (in favor of my future heritage).

Today’s Opportunities // Employed & Depressed @ Good Job! Showroom, 2021

a depressing group show developed by Tobi Keck 

>> Good Job! Showroom is welcoming the virgin year not with usual empty phrases of good will and enthusiastic spirit, but rather with an honest load of the bitterness and struggle life actually offers. There will be no attempt of fooling the mind with cheap affirmations or worn-out optimism. Instead of comforting the awful misery of selling ones lifetime, a gathering of thirteen positions of visual artists will create an environment, that will confront the unfortunate laborer relentlessly with their unbearable situation and point a finger on the only option that is escape. A place vast of confident, unlimited lamento is the one, that will light a fire of raging denial, for an unpleasent present and will unleash a terrible force on the yet unachieved. <<

The world has never seen anything like it: Flaccid Knob launches it's new product and the stock market goes crazy... 

– A big thank you goes to the brilliant Jan Wilhelm Vahl, Marten Schech and of course the Stiftung Kunstfonds, which made the project possible in the first place!

And look at JAMES – our human billboard of the FIRST HAARPUNE SUCCESS STORY OVERSEAS! So gorgeous.
