Where Does a Clown Fit in the Revolution?
“I’m obsessed with failure as an artistic practice and see a continuous cycle of embarrassment and failure as a means to our only way out – to revolution, deeper into ourselves, and otherwise. I want to know where a clown might fit in the revolution, or what a clown could learn from failure for the long con.”- Andie Flores
Andie Flores is interested in unsettling categorical, site-specific expectations of genres of performance and recontextualizing the mechanisms required to do the work of the absurd, particularly as it pertains to the urgent task of world-building at the edge of the limits of art-making. She visited Copenhagen in June as an embarrassment artist and hosted events and collaborative open studio hours at Warehouse9 and a workshop during this year’s Roskilde Festival.
