DURATIONAL SPACE #5! Opening on Nov 21 

Let us introduce one of the five commissioned artists, and give you a closer look at Farhat’s artistic practice!

 👉Roxy Farhat!  👉

Roxy Farhat (b. 1984, Tehran; lives and works in Stockholm) often draws on personal experiences or situations in her work, addressing issues such as capitalism’s influence over public and private spaces, prejudice, social structures, and the role of art itself. Her works are often marked by kitschy and absurd humor rooted in political gravity.

💥

Farhat studied at Konstfack in Stockholm and the University of California, Los Angeles. Her artistic practice encompasses visual art, performance, film, music videos, and more. Her works have been shown in various solo and group exhibitions in Sweden and internationally, including at Göteborgs Konsthall, Index in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Bonniers Konsthall, Southbank Centre in London, and Haugar Vestfold Kunstmuseum in Norway. Among other projects, she has directed music videos for artists like GNUČČI, Zhala, and The Knife.

 

For LPS she will, with your help, trying to answer a series of existential questions, like: why are we creating art, when the world is on fire?

 

”Has art accepted its own demise? Our shared culture is being dismantled, a party born out of Nazism is steering Swedish politics, right-wing winds are blowing across Europe, the world watches as children are bombed to death, and the climate catastrophe threatens the very foundation of human life. And yet, we continue making art, not revolting.Is it time to leave art behind, or can it become something stronger than it is today? Come and help me answer these questions at LPS, November 21 – December 6. 

My friend ANA RAB will welcome you and guide you on how to participate. 

On December 7, there will be an open concluding discussion where I will make my decision.” – Roxy Farhat (October 2024)

Each artist or artist group has shaped the space according to shared conditions, working freely without any thematic constraints. We are proud to open a space where ideas about the potential demise of art, bio-political aspects of lactic acid fermentation, collective public sound actions, intimate bar conversations, and male absurdity come together. You are free to move between the performances and stay as long as you wish.

VARM WELCOME!

Such a lovely opening weekend of Holy Mare and Canary Whirl, behind the scene by the two fabulous artist SIGNE JOHANNESSEN & JENNY BERG!

Also we had such a fantastic Malmö Gallery Weekend with over 500 visitors that could experience both live performances and film screenings of LPS’s past performances through the history.


Very very excited to present the fourth edition of DURATIONAL SPACE with two fabulous artist SIGNE JOHANNESSEN & JENNY BERG.

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.

Performers: Faïka Ammar, Kaisa Malmborg, Selma Kjellsson

Holy Mare by SIGNE JOHANNESSEN

Canary Whirl, behind the scene by JENNY BERG!


THE SUMMER HAS BEEN GREAT!

Two new artists in the studio, preparing for the Grand Opening on 19th of September!

The whole studio is turned up side down with new ideas, materials, construction, sewing, costume making,
building walls, kiosks, saddle chamber and more

Signe Johannessen is making 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 her new performance Holy Mare.

Jenny Berg is recreating, reconstructing an essential experience, memory from her past. ”I was walking down a street in town with some relatives, we were on our way to the grocery store. It was the 80s, I was walking slightly behind them, and we passed a park and a kiosk. Suddenly, the world dissolved, and there was no longer any difference between my body and anything else. Instead, there was an infinite number of extremely small vibrating threads moving in all directions around each other at an unimaginably high speed. There were no fixed points anywhere; my consciousness was also woven into the movement, part of it. Later, seemingly solid relatives reappeared, kiosks, trees, and asphalt roads. My grandmother’s canary was perched over my right shoulder a hundred meters back and five floors up in its cage in the kitchen (…).”

The two new performance will be shown simultaneously during t he same night!
Dates: 19.9 – 5.10

Beautiful REVIEW in STIRWORLD @STIRworld written by Marilena Borriello!! https://www.stirworld.com/
”Defining Lilith Performance Studio, the project created by Elin Lundgren and Petter Pettersson almost 20 years ago
in a former industrial area of Malmö, Sweden is not a simple task. The complexity arises from its defiance of conventional classification, seamlessly intertwining theatre, visual and performance art.
Rather than favouring one discipline over another, Lilith Performance Studio harmoniously integrates them to curate unique and captivating aesthetic experiences.”
”Indeed, Durational Space #3 highlights the primacy of intuition over intellect.
It acknowledges that dreams can serve as a conduit for experiencing time rather than quantifying it.
In other words,
Abduction and Hades Dream Karaoke facilitate the experience of pure duration, echoing Henri Bergson’s observation
of it being a qualitative journey achievable when liberating oneself from society’s accelerated pace and regimented time.
Within these ethereal realms of expression, these performances established their own temporal and spatial framework,
allowing the spectator to transcend the boundaries of conventional consumption, embracing the profound mystery of the human experience.”
