Performance on Menningarnótt
20.08.2016, 20:00 – 22:00
Grófarhús, Tryggvagata 15, 101 Reykjavík
starting on the 6th floor
By contorting her body as she weaves the string, the artist will
deny the material its own natural straightness, favoring a playful
approach: She will connect different parts of the building with
the cord, change its installation throughout the performance,
and warmly invite the audience to join in.
Wherever there is friction between the cord and other elements,
the cord becomes a musical string producing weird sounds,
whenever it is in a knot, the passersby are encouraged to
try to unravel it or add to its complexity, and whenever it lies
peacefully on the ground, the audience can feel free to wrap it
around themselves. Together, both audience and artist, create
the performance and modify it at the same time.
