KIN FAMILIES AN ART LABORATORY
SCHOOL OF LOVE

APRIL 27, 2024
dislike artists
who exhibit
the details of
their intimate lives
For him this ressembles
the chills one gets
when sawing a metal plate
I try to find examples
of this genre
that I liked
Not easy
although I'm now thinking
of Tracey Emin's bed
I'm going alone
to Beursschouwburg
where artists share
on the theme
The nuclear family
and (un)existing alternatives
Beyond words
the performance by
ALCALINE CHEVAL
In the darkness
an apparition
with a feminine allure
covered in a short fur coat
Bare legs and feet
with on their head
a tray with glittering ice cube
Dance
music and words
on oocyde cryopreservation
BUMPY movements
as if the body
CONFORMS
to doctors
and gender categories
REVOLTS
and exults in middle fingers
Striptease
Beneath the fur coat
a naked muscular body
with a loincloth
à la Joséphine Baker
made of black duck tape
and water ice lollies
In front of each breasts
transparent icy bags
that liquefy in the heat
propelling sprays of drops
that stand out against the black background
Music, lyrics
and dance
and one of the egg ice cubes
is introduced into the vagina
A necessary apotheosis
of the deep freeze burning
on the heat of the mucouses
The other eggs
are thrown into the audience
and we discover
caught in the ice
field flowers
Much applause
