YES ALL DOCUMENTATIONS FROM 2017 ARE READY TO WATCH!
Last year was a busy year with 5 large scale visual art performances Commissions, which four of them were a celebration to our studio’s 10th birthday.
Now finally we have edit all the documentations of the performances.
First in the year we presented – Passing through Metal by Oreet Ashery a major collaboration with London-based artist Oreet Ashery.
In Passing through Metal forty local knitters and the Doom / Sludge Metal band Pyramido unite in an apocalyptic performance.
Then in the fall we celebrated our 10th anniversary with a series of unique dinner performances by 5 beloved artists from Lilith’s past.
The invited artists were:
Dafna Maimon (Israel/Finland) – 22-24 September – YOU ARE INVITED – ORIENT EXPRESS, YOURSELF Myriam Laplante (Italy) – 12-14 October –YOU ARE INVITED – THE GATEWAY Odun Orimolade (Nigeria) – 24-25 November –YOU ARE INVITED – KALO KALO The Icelandic Love Corporation – Jóní Jónsdóttir & Eirún Sigurðaradtóttir (Iceland) – 14-16 December –YOU ARE INVITED – BABY SHOWER FOR MARY
We are happy to announce that a Lilith Commission from 2017 – YOU ARE INVITED – Orient Express Yourself by Dafna Maimon is opening tonight in its last and the 4th chapter
at Kim? Contemporary Art Centre in Riga with the title “FAMILY BUSINESS: POWER FAILURE”
“FAMILY BUSINESS: POWER FAILURE” is the last part in a series of exhibitions and performances inspired by autobiographical and micro historical research into a family-owned business – Finland’s first kebab and falafel restaurant ”Orient Express”, opened by the artist’s Israeli father in 1985. Located in the ”Forum” shopping mall in Helsinki city centre, the restaurant introduced Finns to the delicacies of the Middle East.
Some years ago, Maimon found a rather strange high-budget video ad from 1986 that her father had produced, which used his own exoticness in a high-paced narrative to market kebabs in Finland.Starting from this video-relic and her childhood memories, the artist has now reworked the commercial and reimagined the restaurant.
Today, Orient Express exists in a world beyond capital. The restaurant was first reconstructed in Lilith Performance Studio as the performance Orient Express Yourself, where it was equipped with a functioning kitchen, complete with trained “restaurant workers” whose task was to sell falafel in exchange for the audience’s own words. The customers paid prices ranging from 15 to 299 words, and answered questions relating to memories of family and gender roles, as well as the effects of destructive patriarchal structures. Their amplified recollections enabled a semi-shared and intimate space between strangers.
A few months later, Orient Express expanded its operations to Galerie Wedding, where the installation functioned as a ghostly memory of the long-gone restaurant. There it sold falafels to the audience only on the opening, where the word-payment was recorded into an old tape recorder. For the finnissage the restaurant catered to people again with the performance After Hours. Maimon scripted an absurd movement score based on restaurant chores a worker performs when closing up for the night. One chore was to count the takings; the words collected at the opening were played back within the performance as further fragmented memories to a new audience.
Its third stop was in Finland at SIC Space, 33 years after its initial opening, as the exhibition Family Business. The mutation of the restaurant served falafel cooked and sold by the artist’s actual family members – her siblings.
Now it has come the the last stop and the restaurant will branch out to Kim? Contemporary Art Center in Riga, where it will open on the 20 April in yet a new mutation as a performative space where collected local memories have been transformed into a script. The idea of a family business could be an overarching way to describe the artist’s work; she creates temporary small-scale communities that challenge stereotypical constructions. Through these communities, Maimon studies the very same elements her work materializes through; affect based constructions and their economies.
