Fur

2020

Fur has been presented at the opening of What remains, based on a documentation picture of a performance by Adam Brooks.
This festival,curated by Ieke Trinks, focuses on an object collection – relics from performances that director/artist Joseph Ravens has gathered over a period of 9 years from performances presented at Defibrillator Gallery.
Ieke Trinks invited performance artists to collaborate by developing a new performance piece, based on one of the pictures from this collection.
