Performance "The Lips the Teeth the Tip of the Tongue"
by Paulette Penje
Please note: Olga Hohmann is unfortunately unable to perform due to illness. Instead, Paulette Penje will perform alone.
In The Roof of the Mouth, Paulette Penje combines body, space, and temporality in a multi-layered manner.
Penje transfers the pinkish color of her palate to the insides of the eight vaulted arches of the Galerie im Körnerpark. The architecture becomes an open mouth. For Penje, space not only has an architectural dimension, but is created by the events that take place within it—temporal, alive, almost human-like. The installation is animated during the exhibition through a performance by Paulette Penje.
In multi-faceted performances in indoor and public (outdoor) spaces, Penje works with methods from painting, action art, and dance. Humor, melancholy, misappropriation, imagination, and her own body are her materials. Penje’s works play with rules, loops, and an ambivalent presence between action and state.
