Black Market International - Established
Black Market International began, at least in Jürgen Fritz’s memory, with his first meeting with Boris Nieslony on the occasion of the “Expanded Theater” festival in Poznan in 1985, which was co-organised by Elisabeth Jappe. Jürgen Fritz took part in the festival as a member of a Polish performance group led by Zygmunt Piotrowski, and Boris Nieslony was invited as a performance artist. Fritz introduced Nieslony to Piotrowski and thus the basis for Black Market International was formed.
A first performance took place on the occasion of a conference on Japanese aesthetics in Jablona, Poland. A central theme of this conference was a basic concept of Japanese aesthetics "MA", which means "space in between". This approach was adopted as a fundamental principle in Black Market's way of working.
