Valerie Kuehne

Work for Live Art Denmark
2013 Concert-Performance for Hitparaden 1

Concert-Performance
It is not easy to describe the work of Valerie Kuehne. Just go to Youtube, go to full screen and enjoy the ride. This furios performance begins with the description of the Gravitron, a scary carnival ride, and continues with a song about the same ride, which in turn begins with a recreation of what one must feel like taking the ride, performed on the cello. All this happens in the first 3 1/2 minutes of her show, and it gets ever wilder after that.

About the Artist
Valerie is a cross-pollinated work of chaos. Fusing together music, performance art, narrative, and experimental curation, she has systematically bifurcated her time between touring the planet, performing in as many unexpected settings as possible, and building a community for experimental music and performance art in New York City and beyond.

Much more info can be found on her website.
