About the Event
Sirens on the loose!
The Sirens, from Documenta 14 in Kassel, will land in the Magic City for the first time five years later. For artist Irena Haiduk, the Sirens are figures of waiting, singing a melody that freezes the present. For this program, they will wear Yugoexport dresses designed for strolling and dancing; step into Borosana, a Yugoslav work shoe from 1960sdesigned to allow women nine hours of work on their feet; and wander the dimly lit catwalk with books on their heads, together with other characters from Haiduk's Cabaret Économique. Vladimir Ivkovic's musical mix enables the practice of this elegant posture.
Can the sirens pull it off? Who will join them? You'll have to find out.
