Dr. Xenia, Andreja Džakušič, Keiko Miyazaki, Iva Tratnik, Simon Macuh - Man, Don't Get Angry (19:34)
Production: SCCA-Ljubljana, Galerija Alkatraz, Festival Mesto žensk, 2021
Man, Don't Get Angry is first and foremost a feminist response to the familiar image of (dressed) Marcel Duchamp and (naked) Eva Babitz's chess game from 1963. It is also a reference to the performance Mojca ärgere dich nicht, which was performed by Petja Grafenauer, Zoran Srdić Janežič, and Simon Macuh in 2013 at the Red Dawn festival with the aim of defending the use of nudity in works of art. Here, next to the dressed women, there is a half-naked man, who does not get to make a move during the ga...

Dr. Xenia, Andreja Džakušič, Keiko Miyazaki, Iva Tratnik, Simon Macuh - Fart Roulette (06:39)
Production: SCCA-Ljubljana, Galerija Alkatraz, Festival Mesto žensk, 2021
The performance Fart Roulette is actually a picnic on the grass, which can be reminiscent of Manet's famous painting, although this time, everyone present is dressed. The title refers to Russian roulette, and the authors shoot farts instead of bullets. The parody deals with a serious topic of environmental pollution and its far-reaching consequences. Artists in Celje have been warning about local polluters (Cinkarna Celje and other industries) for a long time, but those responsible do not take them seriousl...

Dr. Xenia, Andreja Džakušič, Keiko Miyazaki, Iva Tratnik, Simon Macuh - Rights for Our Fights (11:12)
Production: SCCA-Ljubljana, Galerija Alkatraz, Festival Mesto žensk, 2021
The fifth in a series of performances - its title is also the title of the exhibition - is the only one where Dr Xenia performs live with audience participation. This performance is also defined by the space, the four corners of the Alakatraz Gallery form a boxing ring, which becomes the scene of fights. Despite the boxing equipment, there are no boxing matches in the ring, but various derivations of board games. All games (Mikado, Cards and Rock paper scissors) are usually played with the hands and playing...

Duba Sambolec - NATO Women Waiting (09:33)
Production: Duba Sambolec, 2001/2013
Umetnica je idejo za video dobila v 90-tih, ko je na letališču na Norveškem opazila povečano število vojaškega osebja, ki je bilo namenjeno na vojna območja na Balkanu. Pozornost so ji vzbudile vojakinje in sprožile razmišljanja o njihovi pripravljenosti na preživetje, na potencialno spolno nasilje in spolne vloge v vojski in vojni. Pozneje se je seznanila tudi s problematičnimi ravnanji enot ZN na Balkanu (nezakonita preprodaja orožja in drog, spolne zlorabe, korup...
