Inspired by the performance of Arnold Schwarzeneger in the so-called live exhibition “Articulate Muscle The Body As Art” at Whitney Museum in 1976, SOLITUDE (2024) is vol 2 of the performance HUNGRY (2023). It is a contemplation on body and its form; body as a kinetic sculpture, and performance as display. The live exhibition will focus on the notion of reshaping the body, artificiality of this act, yet the fascination around. Going back to the vigorous works of second wave feminists such as Valie Export, Carolee Schneeman, the live exhibition sees the posture as an archive and as sculpture, and delves into the cliches of gender and searches ways of transgressing it. SOLITUDE is a hyper assemblage, an archive of body postures; a TV spectacle, a compilation of various IG stories and a freak show. It’s a play of vaguely sexual sensibility, and the ambivalence between what is seen and what is hidden behind. The live exhibition consists of a scissor lift, a sculpture with a spider crane, pole and plastic sheets; a pole performance, a body building performance, and a femme Go Go Dance, and a remake of Jeff Koons’ Made in Heaven series, and text.
