Lilith Performance Studio Catalogue Launch featuring five performances on June 5th, 2010.
Tsuneko Taniuchi (JPN), Melati Suryodarmo (IDN), Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen (PHL/DNK), Saralunden (SWE) and Tanya Mars (CAN)
Lilith Performance Studio launches its first Performance Catalogue, Lilith Performance Studio 2007-2009. We celebrate this by showing performances by five artists who all have had a prior production period in the studio; Tsuneko Taniuchi (JPN), Melati Suryodarmo (IDN), Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen (PHL/DNK), Saralunden (SWE) och Tanya Mars (CAN).
Melati Suryodarmo (b. in 1969 in Surakarta, Indonesia, lives and works in Braunschweig, Germany) performes EXERGIE- Butter dance, an older piece but shown for the first time at Lilith.
20 blocks of butter in a square on the black dance carpet. Suryodarmo enters the space, dressed in a black tight dress and red high heels. She steps on the pieces of butter. She starts to dance to the sound of indonesian shamanistic drums. She dances and falls, hitting the floor hard, rising, and continuously being on the verge of standing, slipping and falling in the butter. After twenty minutes Suryodarmo rises one last time, covered in butter, and leaves the space.

Re: Butter Dance
This seems like avant garde/high art. Yet, is it still okay to laugh at it?

Re: Butter Dance
I get why it's called butter dance, but what's that stuff all over the floor?
