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.

The gesture slowly merges into others. His fingers move around his head and we feel we might see devil’s horns or a vampire’s fangs. From a pocket of his impeccable black suit, he produces a disposable camera, and in slow, ceremonial gestures, reminding us of an uncanny if not too skillful magician, he proceeds to snap pictures of audience […]
