In his exhibition "GALA - a green master piece" at the artfinder gallery, Hamburg conceptual artist Boran Burchhardt (*1973) does not give a clear answer as to whether he played soccer as a child. What is known, however, is that last summer - instead of visiting the numerous exhibitions on the subject of soccer - Burchhardt opened the editorial of an art magazine and found himself being asked "not to confuse the round leather with the canvas". Reason enough to use the Fan Mile sojourns to deal with the real connections between soccer and the visual arts and to make possible "confusions" within the two systems the productive subject of his own work. The pictures are shown in their natural habitat: a turf-covered gallery. The roles of playing ball and playing field are reversed, allowing a clear view of the pictures and their material. The exhibition "Gala - a green master piece" is the public part of three staged situations in the artfinder gallery. The other two, non-public parts of the exhibition are presented through photography. The photographed scenes were created in the run-up to the exhibition. 1st staging: An animal that feeds on grass is brought into the artfinder gallery. The gallery owner will sit on it and look into the offices opposite. The artist will squat on the floor and light a fire for the branding irons. (The invitation card is produced with the branding irons.) 2nd staging: The gallery is lined with rolled turf, the footballs mutated into a surface are shown on it. This is the public part of the exhibition in which the pictures are shown. 3rd staging: A soccer goal stands in the dried-up lawn/gallery space. Horseshoes are nailed into the four corners of the goal. Between the posts stands an object made of soccer patches. From the same perspective, all three parts are joined together to form a whole. They are equal parts of the exhibition and are shown side by side. A brittle triptych, the staging of which rejects the automatism of wanting to compare in the final instance. The search for meaning is undermined with precision.
