The Austro - Russo-Bulgarian artist duo FUCKismTC, well known for their subversive site specific installations and Red Square Guerilla Performance, will show a brand new work in Portugal named FUCKismTC: КОНФЭШН ("confession / con-fashion" written with Cyrillic letters). The performance is based on the project БАЙХТЕ (@Charim Galerie, Vienna 2013), where they cooperated with several amazing artists among others Carolee Schneemann, VALIE EXPORT, Hans Ashley Sheirl.

2019 lösen FXXINi̶s̶m̶TOSHAIN/ CEEH im„Sacrilegium“ einen neuen subversiven Turn indem sie unter anderem als politische Referenz zu Gräueltaten im Nationalsozialismus aus verbrannten Überresten von 11 Postern mit 11 künstlerischen Botschaften 11 Schminkstifte produzieren und diese symbolisch nach den Künstler_innen der jeweiligen Poster-Kunstwerke benennen. Durch ein Vernichtungsakt der Zerstörung erschaffen aber Iv Toshain und Anna Ceeh wieder etwas Neues.

If you’re looking for a reason to fuel your girl power fire, look no further. Iv Toshain and Anna Ceeh spearhead a feminist art collective in Vienna called FXXXi̶s̶m̶ , if you can believe it or not! They’re worth keeping an eye on, as in recent years they’ve caused a storm with poster projects, protests, performances, photo-based work and beyond (one project includes a protest at Mainfesta in Italy last fall). Check out their manifesto on their website and on Instagram to see what they’ve got cooking up next (Toshain will be showing at the Vienna Contemporary art fair this fall with One Monev Gallery).

The latest illegal FUCKi̶s̶m̶TC poster action has just taken place at MANIFESTA 12 in Palermo. The art duo Toshain and Ceeh plastered posters of their MANIFESTO around the city, criticising well-established art formats of representation, stylized as omnipresent, whose democratic power has become illusory, with nothing to gain except death itself.
They assimilated their performance into one of MANIFESTA 12's main topics called "co-existence."

On the eve of the celebration of the anniversary of the Second World War, one of the biggest holidays in Russia, the activists from the Austrian art-label XXXXi̶s̶m̶ TOSHAIN/ MAKOWSKY/ CEEH publish the information about the performance they have recently executed right on the Red Square - they stood with provocative slogans for peace! Ten people dressed in civilian clothes with armored vests arranged in a row just a few minutes before being arrested. On the vests with invisible paint, specified later by the organizers as a special military paint used only in the United States, artists from various conflict spots around the world share their messages for peace. The hidden texts can only be seen through a dedicated infrared device. Among them are slogans like “GO BOMB YOURSELF” by the Afghanistan artist Ammanulah Mojadidi, "HE KILLS ME, HE KILLS ME NOT" by Parastou Forouhar from Iran, whose parents were killed by the regime, the Russian artist and activist persecuted and living in the United States fighting for the rights of homosexuals, Slava Mogutin with "LOST BOYS", the German artist Olaf Nicolai and his "KEINE HEIMAT (I have no Homeland)", the american artist Lawrence Weiner "HERE TODAY, HERE TOMORROW" and others.

XXXXi̶s̶m̶ TOSHAIN/MAKOWSKY/CEEH presented the anti-war performance “МИР – МИРУ – FRIEDE” in cooperation with MOTA -Museum in the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Koroška, Slovenia, at 15th of dezember during the opening of the exhibition "The War", which showed internationally acclaimed authors and works by Otto Dix.
