SYNOPSIS

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 game. Play figures in the shape of red erected and green limp penises humorously allude to the generally accepted perception of potency as a symbol of power, which serves to exploit others. The performance conveys rich associations and shows that the mere exchange of power relations among genders in society when all the other relationships remain unchanged and, moreover, still based on capitalistic order, is by no means a solution. (Source: excerpt of the curatorial text by Vesna Bukovec, Ana Grobler and Sebastian Krawczyk for the exhibition Dr Xenia: The Fourth Corner – Rights for Our Fights)


Video was premiered at the 27th International Festival of Contemporary Arts – City of Women on the exhibition Dr Xenia: The Fourth Corner – Rights for Our Fights at Alkatraz Gallery in Ljubljana.
