Christian Falsnaes
Front (Kareth Schaffer) (performance)
25.04.15
Christian Falsnaes adapted a previously conceived performance for the context of his solo exhibition at KIOSK, to be performed by choreographer and dancer Kareth Schaffer. With this female version of the work Front, the artist questions himself, as a white, heterosexual male, and the authority of his artistic practice.
A sculpture and a video piece are the result of a collective performance created during the show’s opening in and around the KIOSK space. The audience was challenged by the performer to draw on the white wall that was erected in the nearby garden of the Academy of Fine Arts. The wall was subsequently sawed in pieces and reassembled in a new form in KIOSK’s central room.
