You Can Smoke Me (Feminised Patriarchy’s Pyramid)
Feminizing is a patriarchal

The work is a visualization of the patriarchy dilemma stimulated continually in our social systems. It is a performative installation that contains a feminised weed plant surrounded by drawings of the five stages that Yazan Maksoiud questioned in the power systems influenced by the patriarchal theory in our society. Yazan will install his own feminised tree that was prepared to serve this kind of power agency development in our life. Here, they will be revealing an image of how our bodies were controlled to behave and grow in specific ways that serve these developments of the dominant powers in our social pyramid. On other hand, this work deals with a real plant as a medium of research and work in his art. This dead tree will be constituting a real image of the rushed life circle we all live in this big capitalistic system ruling our world nowadays. How our bodies nature is moulded to behave in these systems? What are these realities we live in?

Werk in uitvoering

Cat Elfrink

For the past year I’ve started viewing my workspace more and more as the work itself, placing the process of working and play at the center. The surprises I encounter when I focus on the process instead of the result. The discovery instead of the conclusion. The work ‘work in progress’ uses the skip container as a starting point to explore value and desires in creating.In the EXbunker, a situation develops where the content remains changeable and the action keeps changing. Using scrap wood and objects found on the street that previously held a different purpose, I work on a space that holds balance between function and form. Everything that’s in the space is used to make the space. Here, inventive, coincidental or awkward connections continuously play a different role. Where does the act end and the work begin? Or can these two terms coexist in the same sense of the word?
