Text; NY Artsmagazine International 2000 by Dr. phil. Astrid Brunner)

1999 was the beginning of the project motions paintings and portraits in the station of Glarus CH, where the artist Barbara Streiff lives and works. Scetches from the people, they was waiting and moving on place. This art is`nt freshened, emotions and movement are allowed, and every body is welcome to be a part of this action. In the dark and quiet waiting room, where before was only the clock " tick-tac", comes live in.

2000/01 Perfromance NYC. She sits at the Grand Station, at Broadway, China-Down, Central Park, at Place Pigalle, a current newspaper on her knees. The daily rags around the world are her canvas. The intent of these action " Comics" is expressionistic "free flow of everyday life." They speak of pasion, pathos, and skill. This "boulevard performance" mirrow from the inside of what passes outside. The process of tis action " Comics" is intuitive.

Text für die Kunstaktion WEF DAVOS 07 von lic. phil. Valerie Favre Accola )


Wenn die einzelne Person, in einem Konzentrationsakt dokumentiert wird und
zugleich mit dem Tages- und Weltgeschehen auf dem Zeitungspapier verschmilzt,
dann entsteht ein Zeitdokument, das auch versucht aufzuzeigen, dass jedes
Individuum Teil der Gesellschaft, der Politik und des Weltgeschehens ist.
Ob die Person es wünscht oder nicht. Im Kontrast zu den subtilen gezeichneten Figuren stehen die gedruckten Informationen. Der Betrachter ist versucht, eine Beziehung zwischen den gezeichneten Figuren und den gedruckten Artikeln herzustellen, ein Gesamtkunstwerk. Die Zeichnung als Gesamtbild wird für den Rezipienten zu einem intimen, persönlichen Zeugnis.
Da datiert, zeitlich gut zu ordnen, versehen mit Hintergrundinformationen
des Jetzt und mit einem intimen Einblick in das Da.
