For KW’s first Lichtspiele, artist Jamie Crewe presents Potash Lesson, a performance that considers the rights to representation. Potash Lesson draws on the history and style of popular lectures presented at the Paris Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital during the late 1800s (where hysterical women were encouraged to perform their symptoms for a public audience). This history is placed in parallel with Crewe’s personal reflections on one of their older video works, which depicts a model invited to sit in their capacity as a gay man, but who has since identified as trans. Traversing materials that include a mistranslated play, a scene of humiliation, and a chemical stimulant, this performance is a meditation on questions of trans visibility, feminine pathologization, and the interpersonal ethics of artistic collaboration.

Jamie Crewe is an artist, singer and a beautiful bronze figure with a polished cocotte’s head.

Part of project: Lichtspiele

Lichtspiele was KW’s new intimate screening and performance series based at Pogo Bar. Taking place at the beginning of each month, this monographic program presented works in dialogue with the artist and audience.

Curator: Mason Leaver-Yap.

”The activity of framing a performance and the intentions that accumulate around that activity produce a certain anxious kind of mode. and I became bothered by that / by the flurry of activity that tends to make so many things.”
