a staged slumber - Jesse Strikwerda & Caz Egelie
A Staged Slumber is an exhibition by Caz Egelie and Jesse Strikwerda. The installation can be viewed as an index of characters in slumber, consisting of drawings, videos and sculptures, waiting for their moment to enter the stage. After their collaborative projects A smoker’s theatre (2021) and A bunch of red herrings (2022), the exhibition is continuing their research on storytelling, the shaping of (art)history and the manipulability of identity through character building, sound and performativity.
For the occasion of Rewire festival they invited a multitude of musicians, dancers and artists to perform in the context of the exhibition. By performing slippery compositions, spoken opera and experimental recorders, they attempt to awaken the characters from their slumber.
The program contains selected works and improvisations by Amanda Payne, Currently Zoë, Hildur Elisa, Ian Skirvin, jochemjochemjochem, Johu Myllylä, Liam McCall, Lotte van Gelder, menu menu.The project is commissioned by Das Leben am Haverkamp and Rewire as part of a long-term collaboration between the two platforms, facilitating space for experimental crossovers between fashion, performance art and music.
About Das Leben am Haverkamp
Das Leben am Haverkamp is a collective formed by Christa van der Meer, Dewi Bekker, Gino Anthonisse and Anouk van Klaveren. Together they speak and discuss the current state of affairs of something we delightfully – but often problematically – call art. In their studio space – a former gallery space – the collective creates a platform for like-minded artists to explore their shared interests: transformation, costumes, daily rituals and alter egos.
