REINIGUNGSGESELLSCHAFT (“Cleaning Service” or “Purification Society”) is Martin Keil and Henrik Mayer. It is a collective based in Dresden that utilizes the creative potentials of uniting art and social reality to stimulate discourse about topics within specific contexts. Taking a kind of pseudo-form of an independent ...corporation, they use structured methodologies--like flow charts--to assess social, political and economic conditions. Their strategies uncover what exists to initiate dialogue about what is possible. REINIGUNGSGESELLSCHAFT depends on collaborators from different backgrounds to make connections and to generate knowledge and actions, drawing on a fundamental aesthetics of the everyday.
REINIGUNGSGESELLSCHAFT is in Columbus from October 10 to 19. During that period they organize an event that takes as its point of departure the Monday Demonstration in East Germany in 1989. On the 20th anniversary of this historic break, specific aspects of procession such as signs and slogans are extrapolated to explore the demonstration model in general as a revolutionary technique. With topics pertinent to Columbus like transportation, housing, education funding, retail and minorities, the collective examines concepts of readymade revolution and demonstrator-for-hire related to a contemporary economy of revolution and, ultimately, to our role as active members of society today.

For one night only on Friday Oct. 16, Ben Kinsley joined us at the Office of Collective Play for a night of "lecture-tainment." The night began with a READING from "A Year with Swollen Appendices: Brian Eno's Diary," followed by a PRESENTATION of past works, and ended in a PERFORMANCE and sing-a-long.
Ben Kinsley is a multidisciplinary artist who creates site-specific responses to particular situations, often through collaboration and playful exchange with local residents. His projects have ranged from conducting an orchestra of screaming humans, directing a maritime-themed play for boaters on a lake in Maine, organizing a shadow play in the middle of the California High Desert, and choreographing a neighborhood intervention into Google Street View.
Ben’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally in museums, galleries, and film festivals and is included in the permanent collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art. He received his BFA in 2005 from the Cleveland Institute of Art, is a 2006 alumnus of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and received his MFA from Carnegie Mellon University in 2008. He spent the 2008-2009 academic year in Iceland participating in various artist residencies around the country.
