<german version below>

As reported today on the Transmediale.08 website, the project Signature, Event, Context by Janez Jansa, Janez Jansa and Janez Jansa has been officially re-included to the exhibition CONSPIRE.
This decision came along with the following mutual statement of the festival direction, the guest curator and the artists:

Disclaimer
The performative installation 'Signature, Event, Context' as proposed to the transmediale.08 exhibition by Janez Jansa,
Janez Jansa and Janez Jansa had been accepted for inclusion to the exhibition. In the run-up to the festival due to the
curatorial and ethical convictions of Natasa Petresin Bachelez, the guest curator of the transmediale.08 exhibition, a
decision was taken with the festival direction to not include the project. However, after the exhibition opening, and
following a discussion with the artists, the festival direction has agreed with the curator to re-include the project, while
the curator would like to distance herself from the project. A documentation of the project is on display at the foyer of
the House of World Cultures.

Der Vorschlag zu einer performativen Installation 'Signature, Event, Context' von Janez Jansa, Janez Jansa und Janez
Jansa war ursprünglich für die Ausstellung der transmediale.08 vorgesehen. In der Vorbereitung des Festivals entschied
die Gastkuratorin Natasa Petresin Bachelez gemeinsam mit der Festivalleitung, das Projekt aus kuratorischen und
ethischen Gründen nicht in die Ausstellung aufzunehmen. Nach der Eröffnung der Ausstellung und in Absprache mit den
Künstlern entschied die Festivalleitung das Projekt auszustellen, wobei die Kuratorin sich davon distanziert. Die
Dokumentation des Projekts ist im Foyer des Haus der Kulturen der Welt zu sehen.
