Anna Fro Vodder (DK)

Anna Fro Vodder Works with Liveart Danmark2014 “Face Painting for Adults” at Overgaden, Copenhagen. Face Painting for AdultsAs a critical and humorous comment on the ways the art market asesses the value of art works, Live Art Denmark invited three established visual artists and painters, Kathrine Ærtebjerg, Christian Schmidt Rasmussen and Anna Fro Vodder, to create temporary artworks, using the faces of grown ups as their canvas. Participants were given a unique painting of a well known contemporary Danish artist for free.

Performance 1 Exposing her body to fire and explosives is probably the part of Gwendoline’s work that she is most known for.

Gob Squad (DE/UK)

Gob Squad Works for Live Art Denmark 2009 “Gob Squad’s Kitchen” at Berliner Luft 4 Gob Squad’s Kitchen The performance takes one of Andy Warhol’s famous art films, Kitchen, as its starting point. Nothing much happens in the original film yet it somehow encapsulates the hedonistic experimental energy of the swinging sixties. Learning lines was considered ‘old fashioned’ so the actors just hang around. Sex, drugs and wild parties are referred to but nothing in particular takes place. Gob Squad set themselves the task of reconstructing Kitchen and other Warhol films, like Eat, Sleep and Screen Test. How can they get it just right? How do they know if they’re […]

Introducing Goldman In this solo-performance, Frans Jacobi becomes ‘Goldman’, a figure that obviously is meant to symbolize the elusive powerstructures of global economy. […]
