Jasmina Cibic An Atmosphere of Joyful Contemplation: Live Performance

A performance is taking place at various moments in our current exhibition An Atmosphere of Joyful Contemplation.

Like many of Jasmina Cibic's projects, this performance draws attention to how the female body has been utilised in political design, drawing reference to the silenced political voice of women within the building of a nation.

Here, two female singers exchange and compete in a vocal composition comprised of a set of instructions on how to achieve an ideal society through the employment of culture. Drawing words from historical political speech, the singers become kinds of sirens of ideology, as they sew and mend a tapestry, a medium enshrining early modernist ideas of political exoticism within a politically fragile Europe.
