Excerpts from Ieva Misevičiūtė’s “Lord of Beef” performance in “The Cringe: Art, Anxiety and Performance” Sunday Sessions.
In the affirmative culture of the art market, where art is tolerated as essentially non threatening, what is the place and role of negative affects? “The Cringe” suggests some of the potential gains of anxiety through the dark humor of two New York based artists, performers, choreographers and dancers. Ieva Misevičiūtė’s “Lord of Beef” presents a series of impersonations: dance and speech acts depicting objects, people, phenomena, and philosophical concepts. Rebecca Patek presents a new work that unsettles the controlling codes and rules of the museum and performance space.
