Mala Kline: BLISS

Photo: Miha Fras

BLISS is a clash – a clash of different languages and strategies of work, a confrontation of individual interests and drives for doing the work we do. Six internationally acclaimed artists working in the field of performance art come together to investigate desire as a driving force of their work and the ways how they individually construct their idnetities only to reflect on the possibility of a meeting and an emergence of a collective in the time where art has seemingly lost its power and impact on the social and political contexts. BLISS is a performance about why we do art and why we need it. It is an attempt to once again affirm its place.
