Das Leben am Haverkamp, Den Haag NL and Rewire Festival
“Infectious musicality, slapstick humour, jester philosophy, and bizarre
costuming combine in the works of artists Caz Egelie and Jesse
Strikwerda, whose collaborative practice is formed around a shared
desire for character- and world building. Previously, with their work A bunch of red herrings (2022), they assembled an askew world of mediaeval caricatures who were
adorned in tea-towel chainmail, smoked cigarettes, and hit the
treadmills rather than the flour mills. Their exhibition A Staged Slumber is presented as an installation that can be experienced as an index of
characters in slumber, awaiting their moment of being awoken in order to
activate the space. The installation itself consists of drawings,
videos, and sculptures ruminating on the ideas of storytelling and the
reshaping of identities and histories, through performativity and
characterisation.”
