Discoteca Flaming Star aims to be a mental space that all kinds of artists can enter to experiment with different paths for contemporary aesthetic praxis, searching for its limits and avoiding processes of formalization.   Discoteca Flaming Star is a rock band, or rather, a group of persons that plays at playing rock music. They are irreverent, dissolute fans exploiting their own knowledge and lack thereof, staging the desire to be on stage and showing off. Inspired by Anita Berber, Warhol’s Factory, Kenneth Anger’s Demon Brother, Jack Smith’s Superstars, the Vienna Group, Alvaro and the contemporary New York performance artists Joey Arias and Raven O, they have called the outcome of what they do "hardcore karaoke". Discoteca Flaming Star presents songs about love, consumption, fervor and feminism. Belly-dancing, tearjerkers, wonderfully bad songs and things that go together, even though they shouldn’t. > www.discotecaflamingstar.com   ////   Wolfgang Mayer 1967 Born in Kempten / Germany 1990 – 95 Academy of Fine Arts, Munich 1993 Scholarship for the Summeracademy in Salzburg to study with Nan Goldin 1996 – 97 DAAD-Scholarship for New York City (School of Visual Arts.
