Performance

A performative work by Dutch artist Nicoline van Harskamp on the topic of names: how they can be given as well as withdrawn, inflicted, collected, hidden or adapted.

What happens when a performer presents newspaper articles to a live audience? We look at the ways this liveness changes the articles, and also the way the articles change the performer. It’s an examination of how people process information and how this in turn informs our contemporary aural/oral culture.

Combining a Dr Strangelove – inspired performance with a daring forum for public conversation, Unexploded Ordnances (UXO) explores ageing, anxiety, hidden desires and how to look forward when the future is uncertain.

Race Cards is a constantly growing installation and archive, undertaken in aid of Selina’s research for ‘As Wide And As Deep As The Sea’. Each version never takes the same form twice. It’s been a card game, a durational performance, and an 18 hour one-to-one.

How do we respond when the gaze is flipped? What unfolds when…’The Watcher’… becomes… The Watched? The farce plays out; perpetual; nonsensical; tit for tat squabbling; resonating; an underlying collective understanding. We are passively and unconsciously subject to constant scrutiny.
