Julie Andrée T Work for Live Art Danmark 2013 “Nature Morte” for Hitparaden 1 Nature Morte Julie works with a small array of visually striking materials. A large piece of drywall painted red, blue paint and her signature blue sticks among them. Most amazing is a collection of small bones. We seem to recognize a monkey’s hand, maybe a cat’s torso. She connects the bones to build a kind of fetish that is attached to the red drywall. Using a length of rope that runs through the rig on the ceiling of the theatre, she struggles to lift the heavy board, which seems to weigh roughly as much as the […]

Joakim Stampe Work for Live Art Danmark 2012 “Daddy’s Flag in Red, White and Fire” at Samtalekøkken Daddy’s Flag in Red, White and Fire After moving the audience to positions he desires, Joakim unfolds a large red cloth. Loud opera music plays while he places a bucket of white paint on the cloth, dips his foot in it and proceeds to mark the two white lines of the Danish flag by walking the length of the cloth. With the Danish flag completed, he moves to a piece of brown paper attached to one wall of the space, and paints on it with an invisible fluid. The lights go out, he […]
Jane Jin Kaisen Work with Live Art Danmark 2012 “A Bedtime Story” at Samtalekøkken A Bedtime Story Jane Jin Kaisen performed “A Bedtime Story” at Samtalekøkkenet in December 2012. Calmly speaking to her own infant child who she carried around wrapped in a blanket, she told the story of her own motherhood, including the practical challenges it came with. She talked at length about the difficulty of finding a place in daycare for her child, worrying about finding the best possible one, and many other issues that come with becoming and being a parent. The entire story is narrated in the third person, giving it a distanced, almost fairy tale […]

Helena Hei-Sook Park Work for Live Art Denmark 2010: “Slagter Grøntsager” at Samtalekøkken Slagter Grøntsager It is a cold November night in Copenhagen’s notorious Kødbyen, the former slaughterhouse district. Crouching on the ground close to a brick wall, a figure clad in black fur commits a series of brutal murders. The victims are several heads of cabbage and a large pumpkin, massacred and shredded to bits with an impressive arsenal of knives and cleavers. The pumpkin even gets infused with tomato pulp blood before its demise to make the spectacle more gorey. All the evidence, bits and pieces of veggies, gets thrown into a large cooking pot, where they are […]
Hector Canonge 2013 “Sur” and “Hombre de Barrio” at Hitparaden 1 Sur Hector Canonge’s piece “Sur” was a multimedia performance evoking the southern skies of Latin America and the present conditions of plurinationalism in the continent by celebrating an ritual that included dry earth, several costume changes, and bondage using ribbons in the Argentinian national colors. Youtube was so concerned about your innocence that it won’t let you watch the documentation here. You have to be 18 and go to their page. Hambre de Barro/Man of Clay Hector’s second performance for Hitparaden 1 took place in public space. Dressed all in black with a pretty tie, he proceeds to cover […]
