“Performances, Nastia Sade Ronkko cover the topic of intimacy and empathy in relationships between people, revealing social rituals individualized Western society from different angles. Almost always the participants in her performances unfold its course in an unexpected direction or expressing empathy, or identify obstacles in communication”, β said the chief curator of the exhibition Margarita Osepyan. In the performance “I’m not crying for you” participants should make the artist cry, using onion, chilli, piano or sharing her sad stories of life. In the performance “Take me from this cold winter” participants help lying on the ice Ronkko to melt the frozen land. Self-absorbed, detachment, isolation, human nature in the industrial realities of the modern world and often separating it from “real” communication, give place to emotionality and sociability, human interaction in the works Ronkko
Another performance artist Antti Laitinen, who has represented Finland at the 55th Biennale in Venice, in his work of conducting experiments with your body and spirit to the forces of nature. In the “Boat” he was on a makeshift boat made of tree bark, crosses the Baltic sea. In the “Simple necessities” he lives in the woods for four days without clothes, food and water, record their feelings. In their performances Laitinen is not just celebrates the power and strength of nature, rather, it challenges conventional ideas about human possibilities, about his ability to live in the wild, he interprets the deep relationship between man and the surrounding world.
Artists Katrin Kainulainen and Maximilian Lithuania work in pairs and create a quirky and not always intuitive performances, based on their mental experiences, which are sometimes sexual in nature. They travel around the world and on the streets of different cities arrange their ideas, exploring the reaction of random people. During one performance Catherine puts in the mouth about ten thick cigarettes and setting them on fire, smoke and excess toxicity through her tears, she gasps. It is difficult to understand what she wants to say with their actions, but hardly a performance about the dangers of Smoking, more about human pain and emotions that you cannot SIP, lit a cigarette, as it seems to some people.
All performances are very personal, they tell stories about things that have troubled artists, they analyse them for life, but when the audience watching the performance of the performer, they feel its problems to some extent is relevant to them. Perhaps at some point they asked themselves the same questions and was looking for a response or do you do it after watching the performances.
1 β 4 December in the gallery at Solianke will be live performances of the Duo of artists Katri Kainulainen and Maximiliana Lithuania.
