May I Help You?
Andrea Fraser
25.9.24 at 6 PM, 7 PM and 8 PM
The performance will be in English.
In the context of the retrospective «I just don’t like eggs!» Andrea Fraser on collectors, collecting, collections, Transart Festival presents Andrea Fraser‘s performance May I Help You? (1991/2024). Performed for the first time in Italy and activated within the Antonio Dalle Nogare Collection, the performance presents six different positions in relationship to cultural objects, each paradigmatic of a different social class. By modulating her voice, posture, language, and relationship to viewers as well as to artworks, Fraser highlights how culture is not only objectified in things but also embodied in people. By performing the dynamics of affirmation and negation that both define and differentiate these positions, Fraser enacts the function of cultural consumption to express social hierarchies as well as our most intimate sense of self.
There will be three runs of this performance at 6 PM (tickets), 7 PM (tickets) and 8 PM (tickets).
