Initiated by Grübl role of the actors as performing visitors and their relationship to the audience of personnel Installation Saatchi Gallery , Lincoln Center , New National Gallery in 1999, can be put into a tradition that under John Cage's direction in the early 1950s at the Black Mountain College listed were. Grübl updates and radicalizes this historical position by employing his actors incognito, so to speak, and leaving open the audience's certainty of attending a piece. In doing so, he fulfills a fundamental requirement of art that is critical of institutions. Only the consistent disregard of the conditions of participation in the art industry is able to bring out the universally applicable inconsistencies of art industry compromises and contradictions. The change in the role of the audience as well as a sharp criticism of society and art are behind the works such as Junge Szene. Video not complete ( Secession Vienna), 4 minute demo (Intervention Red Square , Moscow), crash mat (performance with a heavyweight athlete who throws the visitors to the exhibition onto the mat) and an installation in the Lakeside Art Center in Nottingham, where the viewer looks on the brightly lit stage is guided to watch the seating in and out of the theater auditorium.
