John Bock: artist or raftsman? Judge for yourself at the Gesellschaft fur Aktuelle Kunst, Bremen Bremen (brā`mən), city (1994 pop. 551,600), capital of the state of Bremen, NW Germany, on the Weser Weser (vā`zər), river, c.300 mi (480 km) long, formed at Hannoversch-Münden, central Germany, by the junction of the Fulda and Werra rivers. It flows generally N past Minden, where it passes through the Porta Westphalia into the North German plain. It enters the North Sea through a long estuary N of Bremen. River. Known as the Free Hanse City of Bremen (Ger. Freie Hansestadt Bremen), it is Germany's largest port after Hamburg and is a commercial and industrial center trading in cotton, wool, tobacco, and copper., this fall. The venue's island setting has inspired a waterborne experiment on the river Weser, involving a raft specially designed by abject-absurdist Bock, an underwater camera, and, of course, the artist's own person. One performance will take place during the opening; photo and video documentation of the previous week's watery outing will show alongside the raft itself from September 2 to October 29.
