BOOGIE(wonder)LAND
BKN artists presents a total installation of mixed-media (video, painting, drawing, sculpture and photography). It is anchored in the nightmare the politicians brought us to. It alerts us to wake up and stop the freakshow we are all participants in. The inner sceptic is a waken while we maintain our dreams.
BKN artists: A selection of artists who has been with us in 2024, 2023 or are associate artists to the artist run not for profit.
The curatorial theme draws from Radical Softness.
PERFORMANCE: Game Care, Rebekah Dean (UK)
Unpicking the garment’s individual pattern parts, one stitch at a time, facilitates a similar kind of experience to that of walking the land. In the same way that the repetitive action of walking step by step can offer a process for reading memory and thinking, unpicking the sum of parts of a man’s suit as my guide, explores and retraces the steps of another human being’s imaginings and thinking.
The unpicking of the suit is both an “activity” and a “statement” and it is also a backdrop for a conversation on the question ‘what is a man?’. Audience and artist together, through the deconstruction of a tailored suit, will challenge the question of patriarchal authority. Together we dream on!
