SAHA, provides support for Selin Davasse's performance between 17 – 21 April at the Luxembourg Pavilion.
The Luxembourg Pavilion presents A Comparative Dialogue Act, a project by the Luxembourgish artist Andrea Mancini and the multidisciplinary collective Every Island, curated by Joel Valabrega, Mudam Luxembourg—Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean, at the 2024 Venice Biennale. Throughout the duration of the Biennale, the pavilion is hosting four guest artists who will produce and present new sound performances, thereby expanding the definition of the collective artwork. An unprecedented collaboration between four emerging artists from diverse backgrounds, the programme brings together Spanish musician and performer Bella Báguena, French transdisciplinary artist Célin Jiang, Ankara-born performance artist Selin Davasse and Swedish artist Stina Fors to present four intersecting approaches to the multiple ways identity, performance and sound can meet.
Repurposing literary and performative techniques, Davasse embodies various feminine beasts with distinct syntactical, vocal and gestural characteristics to intimately traverse a speculative ethics of hospitality. A Comparative Dialogue Act offers a rich composition of singular voices brought together in a blurred sound artwork that pushes the boundaries of contemporary art production.
About Selin Davasse
Selin Davasse (1992, Ankara) lives and works in Berlin. Her performances repurpose disparate literary and performative techniques to enact and enforce a speculative ethics of hospitality between a bestial feminine stranger and a heterogeneous public. Embodying various narrative selves with distinct syntactical, vocal and gestural characteristics, she transmutes systems of thought into intimate and playful utterances oscillating between speech and song, in a permeable and unpredictable relationship to the viewer.
