Please join us for <\/span>Les voyages et aventures extraordinaires du fr\u00e8re Angelo<\/strong>, <\/span><\/i>a musical in one act by Ville Laurinkoski.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday 6 June, 18.30\u201321.00<\/strong><\/h4>\n


\n<\/strong>Doors: 18.30
\n<\/strong>Performance: 19.00
\n<\/strong>Lecture + Q&A: 19.20
\n<\/strong>Drinks and mingling: 20.30<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this performance, Laurinkoski activates his installation, presented as part of our current exhibition, Object of Devotion. The work comprises a series of grey locker-room benches alongside a sound piece in which the Finnish youth hymn <\/span>Evankeliumi<\/span><\/i> is looped relentlessly against live readings, confronting systemic clich\u00e9s of salvation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The title, <\/span>Les voyages et aventures extraordinaires du fr\u00e8re Angelo <\/i><\/strong>(The Extraordinary Voyages and Adventures of Brother Angelo), is borrowed from the novel of the same name by the late French writer, philosopher, and gay liberation theorist Guy Hocquenghem (1946\u201388). The novel allegorises the AIDS epidemic through Christian imagery. It resists stable interpretation and moves between irony and sincerity, camp and tragedy, spirituality and political anger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the performance, Laurinkoski will give a lecture based on excerpts from his unpublished essay <\/span>Le Gay Voyage<\/span><\/i>, expanding on his practice, including his longstanding engagement with the work of Hocquenghem and ways in which affect long outlives the archive.<\/span><\/p>\n

About the artist:\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n

Ville Laurinkoski<\/strong> (b. 1996, Finland) is a visual artist and performer based in Copenhagen. Alongside his studies at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Schools of Visual Arts, and Hochschule f\u00fcr Bildende K\u00fcnste\u2013St\u00e4delschule, Laurinkoski completed the Maumaus Independent Study Programme in Lisbon in 2021. Laurinkoski creates suggestive interiors and chamber pieces composed of mass-produced objects and misfit materials, unpurposed furniture, and readymades, often infused with voice and speech, in the form of sound or live performance. Drawing on literature, autobiographical writing, pasts of gay activism, and commercial music, his artistic practice serves as a form of critique, producing an aesthetic that exposes and subverts the socio-economic, linguistic, and spatial systems that script our lives.<\/span><\/p>\n
