Hold on, I, too, am drifting (a speech performance with Kevin Cregan). 2009, performance, 15 min.
Special Event Scriptings #5: Temporary Scenarios by Katrin Mayer, 2009.


Achim Lengerer’s work revolves around language as written text, spoken word, physical/corporeal utterance and as ductile material circulating through different media and situations. In an attempt to explore all these aspects, the artist has developed a varied body of works over the years, alone or in various collaborations. According to the specific aspect of language he chose to investigate, he has performed different roles - of the artist, the curator, the performer or the producer. For the final presentation of RED A.i.R., Lengerer presents Hold on, I, too, am drifting, a speech performance played by the actor Kevin Cregan. In this work, described by the artist as ‘material by an author for another author’, Lengerer acts as a producer of a script which is subsequently enacted by a professional actor for an intimate group of people. The script of this performance provides the artist with a space for reflection on his own experience as resident artist of RED A.i.R. and merges personal annotations with fictional, literary sources. At the same time, this work offers us a refined example of the ambivalent position the writer or the author can have as the assumed sole producer of a narrative.
