SIGNE JOHANNESSEN & JENNY BERG
September 19 – October 5
”Signe Johannessen’s Holy Mare takes us down into a baroque tack room where boundless needs for power, intimacy, and love are tested.”
”Jenny Berg’s Canary Whirl, behind the scene, explores a multidimensional experience of glittering memories and twisted perceptions of reality.”
19 September the fourth edition of DURATIONAL SPACE opens, featuring two artists who bring heavy-handed sculpture into a dreamlike, poetic visual world in motion. We are proud to present Signe Johannessens ”Holy Mare” and Jenny Berg’s Canary Whirl, behind the scene, two newly produced performance works where the audience can come and go as they please during the three hours the works are in progress.
Signe Johannessens performance Holy Mare takes us down into a baroque tack room where bottomless needs for power, intimacy, and love are tested in relation to the untamed horse on the verge of abuse.
In Canary Whirl, behind the scene, Jenny Berg stages a central experience, a memory she has tried to materialize many times before. As usual, the chosen materials seem too coarse, the mechanics too clumsy, and the narrative too precisely formulated. A group of theater technicians experiment with glittery effects, set pieces, kiosk owners, and old relatives. They assemble and disassemble the scene, sometimes lovingly and sometimes brutally, in search of something that can resemble what happened.
