Participating artist: Anja Carr, Ninjas of Bergen, Samuel Brzeski and Gillian Carson.
Curator: Gitte Sætre
Initiator: PAB LOCAL
Host: Kunsthall 3.14
An open call was sent out early May 2018 asking new and old members of the organization Performance Art Bergen to apply to curator Gitte Sætre challenge to enter Daniel Wurtzel installation 'SHITSTORM' and comment on the elements of the exhibition.
When Samuel Brzeski's first told me about his performance he said to me:
I wish to embody the voice of a failed masculinity.
I wish to embody the voice of the impotent male.
I wish to embody the voice of the Man who thinks that he can fix everything.
He is sitting on a chair in the middle of Daniel Wurtzel installation the Shitsorm, where plastic is flying around as mad birds. I can fix this, I can fix this, I can fix this, I can fix this, I can fix this, I can fix this. Time passes and how we interpret the sentence changes from empty to self-confident, from comforting to aggressive and finally as something quite hard to believe. The white western man has met something bigger than himself.
Anja Carr's performance 'Tackle to tentakel' makes us think, about all the things surrounding us. The eternal currents of images and impressions in our lives in the era of technology. It's easy to feel like a small pink sea anemone. Standing completely quiet on the seabed trying to catch everything with its slimy tentacles.
Gillian Carson's performance 'Gestures of the Drowning' is in many ways a reaction to all the social and political information we are surrounded by. An emotional response developed on the basis of her thoughts about humanity's complex reality.
Ninjas of Bergen, one of the many performances the group from the Faculty of Arts, Music and Design has recently performed. Now they are coming to us, we are extremely excited about what they will do this time.
