As part of his latest body of work, 'Lingering Cut', Jaša's artwork will be screened on the Harbour Scren at Folkestone's Harbour Arm at spontaneous intervals throughout the week, colliding with his interventions taking place during daily performances at 73 Tontine Street.
About
Conceived as a complex, multi-dimensional work that unfolds over time, performance artist Jaša will commence his new body of work ‘Lingering Cut’, commissioned to inaugurate a season of new live-art programs in 2021 called ‘Lake Lazarillo’. Held on multiple sites on Tontine Street and the Harbour Arm, daily performances will take place inside 73 Tontine St that the public can watch from the street, whilst at the Harbour Arm Jaša’s artwork will be screened.
Since his first intervention and performance at CT20 in 2017, Jaša’s work bracketed a period of social upheaval and the surge of far-right politics in the West. After the horrors of social distancing and months of isolation due to the pandemic, we re-emerge into a fractured world in which oppressive political alliances have tightened their grips on power. Jaša’s poetic gestures point to the realities in his home country in Slovenia and the urgency of creative resistance, more so than ever.
Please note that these daily screenings are spontaneous actions without prescribed time or duration.
