    Performance

    Rīgas Performances mākslas festivālā "Starptelpa"
    2023
    Ilgums: 2 - 3 h
    Skaņu mākslinieks: Jurģis Lūsis
    Atkārtota publiskās mākslas izstādes “Caurspīdīgā trokšņa drošā telpa” ietvaros un PAiR rezidences dārzā, Pāvilostā.

    “Pieskaries man
    Es no tā baidos”
    Kikone

    “Seno dižciltīgo vairs nebūs, nebūs kam izvēlēt ķēniņu, visi zemes lielkungi nebūs nekas. Tās pilīs augs ērkšķi, un tās staltajos namos nātres un dadži, tie būs mājokļi šakāļiem un strausiem. Tur sastapsies tuksneša zvēri ar meža vilkiem, tur jodi sasauksies, tur nakts biedēkļi apmetīsies uz dusu. Tur čūska taisīs ligzdu, dēs olas un perēs un pavēnī kops savus izperētos, tur salasīsies ērgļi.”
    Jesejas grāmatas 34. Nodaļa

    Performancē tiek izspēlēta asuma dualitāte, to izmantojot gan kā uzbrukuma, gan kā aizsardzības rīku.

  • Caustic because fearful

    Performance

    At the Riga Performance Art Festival "Starptelpa"
    2023
    Duration: 2–3 hours
    Sound Artist: Jurģis Lūsis
    Repeated as part of the public art exhibition “Safe Space of Transparent Noise” and in the PAiR residency garden in Pāvilosta.

    "Touch me
    I am afraid of it"
    — Kikone

    "And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.
    The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.
    There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate."
    – Isaiah 34:13–15 (KJV)

    The performance explores the dual nature of sharpness, functioning as both an offensive and defensive instrument.
