I’m interested in gender and its bodily possibilities in dramatic art. I study queer stage tactics,
and my proposal for carrying this out is the perverted being. My Horse Queer participates in outlining the perverted being. The being is both political fiction and lived reality. It is not a man, white, middle-class; the perverted being is a dispersing crowd.

Sunday Aug 16th, at noon & 3 pm. The artwork roams in the museum. Entry to the exhibition with the museum ticket.

Clowns are characters that are impertinent and forthright, they say uncomfortable things out loud without caring about the consequences. They work against learned and established approaches. In the exhibition the artists have put the forthnight nature of clowns on a collision course with our daily lives.

Our work is like a two-headed goat. One head is constantly aiming for the woods, the other aims high, level with the roofs. The conflict between these heads has produced a corpse. There are ribs, lungs, a nervous system and at least one ear. It’s not mute, just lacking in confidence; it’s an anarchic, questioning, and humorously sneering conflict. The heads make a pact, one picks up a violin and the other a pile of papers, and then the goat enters the stage.

With my works for this exhibition, I seek to illustrate everyday emotions and emotional states from my world. I’ve tried to approach the different themes from more or less personal viewpoints. If viewers can use the work to reflect on their own world, it has
been a success.

My name is Čiske Jovsset Biret Hánsa Outi Biret. I am a student at P.A.R.T.S. – Performing Arts Research and Training Studios in Brussels. In the carefreeness, timelessness and lulling motherly care of The Cradle rests a radical softness. The work is an awakening from a catnap: states of sleep and wakefulness are intertwined. The work encourages the viewer to share this intimate experience and explore how it could redefine our relationship with other people.
