CERTAIN EXCEPTIONAL ARTISTS IN EXCEPTIONABLE CIRCUMSTANCES BROKE FREE OF THE NORMS OF THE TRADITION AND PRODUCED WORK THAT WAS DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO ITS VALUES; YET THESE ARTISTS ARE PROCLAIMED AS THE TRADITION’S SUPREME REPRESENTATIVES. JOHN BERGER
NONSENSE TRANSLATION PERFORMANCE BY LEIF HOLMSTRAND
SEPTEMBER 23, 2018 / 3:00 PM—7:00 PM / ROOF OF BUILDING №5
Leif Holmstrand works across genres, creating installations, objects and performances, as well as musical or literary compositions. Throughout his work, the artist makes frequent reference to shamanism and its contemporary rethinking. The culminating work of his residency, the performance “Nonsense Transition” offers a new perspective on research into this topic.
