Jørgen Teller Work with Live Art Danmark 2014 “Static Teller” at Hitparaden 2 Static Teller An amazing set of noisy voice and guitar improvisation of Jørgen Teller’s then brand new solo project. He calls it minimal rock goes synth’n’poetry. Here he speeds up new minimalistic text with vibrant voice-delays, his electric guitar, Le Bastard, and static LFO-synths. Static Teller was created during Teller’s residency at Rotterdam’s avantgarde studio The Worm in early 2014. Teller “pressed rec” and used the studio’s load of old crazy machinery, including an ARP 2500, an EMSi and the Publison DHM89. The resulting handfull of suggestive static songs became his new solo-project. About the Artist Jørgen […]

Frau Hue Works for Live Art Denmark 2014 “WURST – part of me TO GO” at Hitparaden 2 2017 “Get Out Of Jail, Free?” at Horsens Happening mit Hue/Boy. WURST part of me – TO GO Blood is a myth and a carrier of information. For “Wurst – part of me”, each participant donates some of their own blood and prepares a blood sausage following a vegan recipe. It is a transforming experience for all senses, transgressing borders between the poles of veganism and vampirism, autologous blood doping and self-destruction. An evening to try and discuss. “WURST part of me – TO GO” in Copenhagen was supported by duckP (Dr. […]

Nieves Correa and Abel Loureda Work for Live Art Danmark Nieves Correa and Abel Loureda performed “Babia” at Hitparaden 2 Babia In Spanish, the phrase “to be in Babia” expresses to be absent minded, a dreamer. It refers to the Babia Valley, where centuries ago the kings of León went to escape their monarchical tasks. The title is a well chosen, the performance indeed has a somnambulistic quality. In a darkened space, the audience sit in a circle around a small, brightly lit area, a red suitcase in the middle of it. Nieves and Abel, both naked, move around somewhere on the fringes of the circle, interacting with the audience. Muffled laughter, […]
Vaida Tamoševičiūtė Work for Live Art Denmark 2014 “A Piece of my Heart” at Hitparaden 2 A piece of my heart In her outdoor performance, Vaida lies naked on the dirty ground of a courtyard of the venue.

Due to nudity, the video of the performance was age restricted by Youtube and can not be shared here. To view, please use this link. Quite a while after we put the video online, something weird and wonderful happened. It became […]
Jack Catling Works for Live Art Denmark 2014 “Remnant” and “Disabled Avant Garde” at Hitparaden 2. Remnant Jack Catling begins his performance at Hitparaden 2 standing on a small, messy stage at Pumpehuset, wearing a black suit and dangling an apple on a string from a small stick he is holding. The performer in a rumpled black suit, staring intensely at the apple, might be a frozen image from a slightly scary forgotten children’s game. He just stands, eying the apple, sometimes tugging at the collar of his white shirt, just long enough for the situation to feel a little uncomfortable. Suddenly he begins to simultaneously belt out Frank Sinatra’s […]
