Perpetual Repetitions is a performative installation where the artist situates herself together with seemingly banal object(s) into an empty white space over a period of two days.
The space is closed, an aquarium-kind of setting, where the audience is welcomed to view the performance from the outside of the gallery behind the large window. Inside the space solitude takes place between the artist and physical matters other than human. The object(s) are detached and alien from the space they are brought to and which they don’t originally belong to.
Energy is a common property to all of them. The amount of energy in the Universe is finite, thus it cannot be created or destroyed. It takes different forms, and becomes a transformative flow between objects.
In the course of 18 hours performance, altogether, repetitive and contemplative actions take place. Time becomes tangible. It is a lonely contemplation, an unpredictable spatial experiment where the artistic process itself is the core of the work. Kask is interested in the gap between physical matter and the subjective experience of it.
The debris of the session will transform into an installation. The gallery will be opened for the audience on Saturday 24th of September from 6 to 8pm during the closing party.
Evelin Kask (b.1989)
Estonian-born visual artist who lives and works between Paris and Helsinki. She’s interested in various layers of knowledge; how it is achieved, constructed and maintained inside a complex system. Her manifests are often released through temporal and spatial site-specific works in which she uses different mediums and materials such as photography, video, sound, performance and sculpture.
