ABOUT COOK, EAT and CLEAN

Gezeigt werden Performances, Installationen, Musik und Filmbeiträge. So ist unter anderen der international auftretende Tänzer und Choreograf Mostafa Shabkhan mit zwei Performances vertreten.

Die Musikerin Toranj Mashayekhi zeigt gemeinsam mit Masoumeh Jalalieh eine Live-Sound-Performance mit Küchengegenständen. Die Performance-Künstlerin Yalda Pakzad kommt eigens aus Rom angereist, da sich ihre Performances hauptsächlich um die Idee von Kochen drehen – und damit perfekt in das Konzept von “COOK, EAT, and CLEAN” passen.

Die Installation der in Österreich lebenden Künstlerin Ahoo Maher’s installation ist ein symbolisches Monument, das die Betrachter*innen mit ihrem eigenen gebrochenen Spiegelbild konfrontiert, und Teil einer Ausstellung sein wird.

Der Performer und Choreograf Sina Saberi mit Wohnsitz in Hamburg wird zwei Episoden seiner Trilogie vorstellen: den Prozess seiner neuen Kreation, die in einigen Tagen im Kampnagel Premiere haben wird.

Der Filmemacher, Schauspieler und Choreograf Alireza Keymanesh hat für seine experimentellen Tanzfilme „Flatland“ und „My Lovely Home“ mehrere Preise auf verschiedenen Festivals gewonnen. Beide Filme werden im Salon “COOK, EAT, and CLEAN” zu sehen sein.

Darüber hinaus gibt es weitere Beiträge von Nazanin Mehraein, Shirin Farshbaf, Kimiya Rastgou Moghadam, Hannaneh Heydari,Golara Ghofrani, Ava Jalali, Behzad Gholami, Roya Keshavarz, Lagha Ghavam und Maryam Farahi, Tanin Torabi, Nima Noury, Avin Ahmadi sowie Parmiss Rahmani.

Iranian artist Masoumeh Jalalieh, alongside 20 other artists from Iran, invites the public to the „COOK, EAT, and CLEAN“ salon at eindorf from 29 May to 2 June. The salon at eindorf is characterised by the fact that the audience can experience the performances in an intimate and direct atmosphere.

Performances, installations, music and film contributions will be shown. Among others, the international dancer and choreographer Mostafa Shabkhan is represented with two performances.

Together with Masoumeh Jalalieh, musician Toranj Mashayekhi will present a live sound performance with kitchen utensils. Performance artist Yalda Pakzad has travelled all the way from Rome, as her performances mainly revolve around the idea of cooking – and therefore fit perfectly into the concept of „COOK, EAT, and CLEAN“.

Austrian-based artist Ahoo Maher’s installation is a symbolic monument that confronts viewers with their own broken reflection and will be part of an exhibition.

Hamburg-based performer and choreographer Sina Saberi will present two episodes of his trilogy: the process of his new creation, which will premiere at Kampnagel in a few days.

The filmmaker, actor and choreographer Alireza Keymanesh has won several prizes at various festivals for his experimental dance films „Flatland“ and „My Lovely Home“. Both films will be shown in the „COOK, EAT, and CLEAN“ salon.

There will also be further contributions from Nazanin Mehraein, Shirin Farshbaf, Kimiya Rastgou Moghadam, Hannaneh Heydari, Golara Ghofrani, Ava Jalali, Behzad Gholami, Roya Keshavarz, Lagha Ghavam and Maryam Farahi, Tanin Torabi, Nima Noury, Avin Ahmadi and Parmiss Rahmani.

FLATLAND
Kurzfilm( 14:34 min) by Alireza Keymanesh

(2017) is a multi-award-winning experimental dance film co-directed by Alireza Keymanesh and Amir Pousti, produced by 33Projects, with a score composed by Peter Pirhosseinloo and featuring a hundred female dancers. Inspired by the eponymous 1884 novel by Edwin A. Abbott, the film delves into various dimensions of the universe and humanity’s incapability to perceive beyond the limits of its perception, exploring such fundamental concepts as birth and collective living.
Poetically bringing geometric shapes to life through dance, FLATLAND is a 14-minute, one-shot, drone-captured, bird’s-eye view of a rooftop in Tehran. The dancers fade away, transforming into a multitude of atomized bodies melting into the urban environment, blurring the boundaries between the human body and its surroundings. This minimalistic dance film is designed to be projected on large screens, on walls around the city as well as in cinema theaters and galleries, offering an immersive and captivating experience for the audience.

My lovely home
Kurzfilm (13:48 min) by Alireza Keymanesh

An exhausted human being, striving to find a home, heads toward nowhere.
The film is inspired by Gilles Deleuze’s essay “The Exhausted.”
Do humans truly own the home they live in? What and where is “home”? Does s/he own any
place at all or is s/he essentially usurpers? What is humankind struggling for?
Each human being has his/her own burden, weighing her down: “his inner conflict with being,”
“the pressure of her past life,” “his emotional complex,” “the historical trauma of humankind” and
so on. The burden has exhausted humankind, but s/he is still moving. This exhausted existence
is still brave enough to move, toward it, the human is moving, despite his exhaustion, striving to
find a home, heads nowhere.

Un Pueblo
Exhibition and Performance by Guadalupe Aldrete

31. May 2023
Exhibition opens at: 18:00
Performance starts at: 19:00 (20min)

Duration: Opening on 31.05.2023. Accessible until 14.06.2023
Open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 19:00

Freie Eintritt

In „Un Pueblo“, the Mexican multidisciplinary artist Guadalupe Aldrete draws inspiration from her temporary home at eindorf.
Using the Spanish translation of the name of the venue, Guadalupe takes the opportunity to reflect on her place in this world: the village she seemed to have grown up in (the village of the stories told by her parents), the village she actually grew up in (the social housing neighbourhood that functioned as her own village) and the mental village she seems to move through in her life in Vienna.
This project, which oscillates between the political and the personal, includes installations and video works as well as a performance on the opening day.

Un Pueblo is part of the official programme of the “Bezirksfestwochen 2023”
Friendly supported by the Stadt Wien through the MA7 and the 15th Bezirk

Tofu Equation

One day Exhibition and Performance
Performers: Sunggu Hong, Jinkyoung Park, Jieun Choi

03. May 2023
Exhibition opens at: 6pm
Performance starts at: 7pm (25min)
Freie Eintritt

Come and eat Tofu 😊
Do you have a question or problem you cannot find the answer to or a logical cause that makes you clear? Tofu could be the answer for these questions.

The interactive Performance “Tofu Equation” shows how we or objects are related to each other. This relation means ‘our’ behaviors, movements or its resulting effects are interdependent. “The Tofu Equation” is another name of “indeterminate equation” which could have more than one answer because of its variable and interdependency of Unknown.

It could be said that our Society or Life got better and more free than in the old times. But can we say therefore we became proportionally happier and freer? “Tofu Equation” wants to ask ourselves how happy we are in a society, which constantly likes to give us guilty consciences.
*There is a tradition in South-Korea that a prisoner should eat a Tofu after finishing their prison life. Eating Tofu symbolizes a sort of ritual that the prisoner gets a chance to start their life afresh and it also means to promise that they wouldn’t commit a crime anymore.

“The passion of CMYK”
Installation 2022
Keramik, Betonsteine, Materialspulen (Draht)

Kategorien wie zum Beispiel CMYK ziehen eine klare begriffliche Grenze, welche die Realität verankert und Identitäten festsetzt. Sie bieten Sicherheit durch eine begriffliche Zuordenbarkeit auf Kosten des Ambigen und des Lebendigen. Was passiert, wenn die Hand ins Spiel kommt – als Gegenspielerin zu der maschinellen Geradlinigkeit – wenn die Leidenschaft, das Spielen mit dem eingefassten Realen, den Formen, dem Material und den Farben den Raum für die Ambiguität öffnet und sich der Starre der Kategorie entzieht?
Miriam Laussegger und Sascha Alexandra Zaitseva kombinieren Industriell gefertigte Materialspulen mit Hand gefertigter Keramik. Der offene Platz um die Kunstzelle wird genutzt um mit den Formen zu spielen, sie neu zu definieren.

“STILL STANDING”
Workshop

15h – 18h Workshop
18h – 18:30 snacks, drinks, feedback

Participation: for free, with PRE-REGISTRATION at linda.sama@gmx.net / Subject: STILL STANDING

The minute you are still, you stop being productive. When you stop moving, you no longer progress. And, in stillness, you disrupt what it means to perform. Progress, performance and productivity are the pillars on which capitalism is built. Sometimes even in stillness we become obsessed with these capitalist imperatives. Questions like – Is this stillness good enough? Am I getting better? When will I get to the real stillness? Is this all a waste of time? Or am I getting something out of this? – begin to plague us. But stillness has a way of rendering such questions insignificant. The only way to appreciate stillness is to free it from capitalist expectations.

Installation 30min

“A caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.”
Maya Angelou

We construct borders to extend our property, attachment, and freedom but what is the line for these borders? Don’t we limit others‘ freedom by extending our own borders?
In Maya Angelou’s poem, ‘the bird opens his throat to sing. The song of the bird is pleasing to the human ear, but at the same time, it is a sign of the bird’s imprisonment. In this image, choreographer Masoumeh Jalalieh found an intriguing starting point for a new performance, which at this point is a work in progress.
As an Iranian dancer and artist, borders are & were always highlighted to me. Whether the geographical ones that shaped the past and present map of my homeland and its relation to other countries, or the cultural borders that came to existence as a result of each geographical and political change within the history of my home country.

Anna Spanlang

CEREAL / Soy Claudia, soy Esther y soy Teresa. Soy Ingrid, soy Fabiola y soy Valeria.
Film 2022, 35 min

The title of Anna Spanlang’s film takes up the activist practice of identifying with the victims, as is practiced in the protests against femicide, to say the names of the murdered women. The film includes images from a FLINTA* action protesting structural violence against women in Austria; images of sex workers posing at a slut walk in Los Angeles, of befriended artists and skateboarders, and of a positive pregnancy test, which leads to the question of whether to have an abortion or not.
In her first longer work, Spanlang is a master of the rapid montage and a perfectionist of this craft. Personal cell-phone recordings from a eleven-year period dominate in this essayistic work, but the footage used also includes videogames, news, tv series, comics, and feature films through to picture-in-picture sequences. In nearly thirty-five minutes, she breathlessly juxtaposes countless images and stories. For Spanlang: more is more. After all,

“Recuerdos”
Performance 20 min

Recuerdos, that is, memories is a modern ritual of externalisation and with it the extirpation of moments from an early age, moments that seem regrettable, moments that although they were not, somehow I wanted to believe that I was in control of the situation.

It was when I tried to remember my own birth that I discovered the enormous amount of information accumulated in my skin. Memories of before and after birth, memories of my childhood, memories of love but also of fear and pain. It is also the skin that functions as the canvas of our heritage, of our origin, of the colour of our ancestry and of what seems to be our destiny.

The embodiment of heritage and ancestry. That is the meaning of my work.
The colour pink refers to the skin, but to the skin inside our body, where we all look the same, where our nerves run. The processed black takes its form from coal and is a call and materialisation of all my ancestry and the burdens they inherited.

“O.T.”
Videoinstallation

Basierend auf der Bühnenperformance WHITE FOR.

Sinn was. Bewegter Kopf pfeift laut. Kaputtes Licht macht uns glücklich. Weil Sehnsucht. Ein Klang wächst und dann stellen wir uns eng zur Mauer (für den Winter). Richtig.
An des Schrittes vorbei. Dann wird es still und es pfeift nur noch im Kopf. Die Nabelschnur ruft leicht gereizt. Kräftiger Schlag auf die Wand wenn das Licht wieder platzt. Mit einem Moment ist es sichtbar. Mit Holzschritten begeben wir uns auf den Boden. Der Ton reißt ein Loch der Ungeduld um sich. Wohin? Die Wand lacht sich krumm wenn das Licht wieder ausgeht. Wie tiefsinnig, wie erhaben! Mit dem Boten wird wild diskutiert bis der richtige Ton angeschlagen wird. Mein Glück. Mein Traum.
Sinn was. Weg heraus, breit, aus Holz. Die Nabelschnur pfeift uns vielleicht zurück wenn der bestimmte Moment kommt. Betäubend für einen Moment. Das ist die Leere!
Und rechts ein Hindernis und links ein Missverständnis bis der Kreis immer kleiner wird. Sich bücken (vor Pfeifen) hilft nicht. Die Wand lacht sich krumm wenn das Licht einmal zittrig wird. Hinaufgeweht gleichen Schrittes auf dem Holzweg, gesägt und gesägt.
Der Ton schlägt in den Schritt. Merklich berührt vom angespannten Atem und einem verlorenen Blick. Die Stelle sucht sich in einem Punkt, der nicht zur Ruhe kommt. Und rechts ein Hindernis und links ein Missverständnis bis der Kreis immer kleiner wird.

WALDEN
Installation 2020

Der Begriff „Drehort“ gewinnt eine zutiefst wörtliche Bedeutung, wenn ein Film ausschließlich aus 13 ausgedehnten Rundumschwenks in der Horizontalachse konstruiert wird. Nachdem ein gefällter Baum in der Nähe von Admont krachend direkt vor der stoisch rotierenden Kamera landet, entfaltet sich eine konsequent verlangsamte Wahrnehmungsstudie entlang der globalisierten Transportrouten in paradox umgekehrter Richtung – das österreichische Schnittholz landet diesmal verquer im Dschungel Amazoniens. Allmählich erst scheint hinter der wimmelbildähnlichen Kontingenz von Autobahnen, Raststätten und Verladestellen die ausgeklügelte filmische Choreografie durch. Für den ersten Teil gilt daher: Finde den roten Lastwagen. (Stephan Settele, Viennale-Katalog 2018)
