NESS
Ritualistic Performance with Valentine Tanz/Vala T. Foltyn
Curated by The Real Office
Projektraum Kunstverein Wagenhalle
November 30, 2019
We would like to invite you for an encounter around the notions of -ness ( other_ness, queer_ness, fem_ness, gay_ness, ), which we encounter every day and in every language. Ness in Hebrew stands for “miracle”. On Sunday, we call you to come together, to descend from our poetic bodies and imaginations, to become the miracles while enjoying the oral pleasures of eating and talking. We will share time and space, while creating the togetherness of queerness. We will choreograph a space where queerness and other ness_es have chance to become miracles, where the darkness can become lightness, where sadness can become joyfulness. Come as you are, bring your body, a favorite poem and food to be shared. We will create a ritual where food, feelings and thoughts will be mutually shared in a safe and loving space.
The ritual will be tenderly guided by VALENTINE TANZ/VALA T. FOLTYN. She is a poetic choreographer, queer witch, priestess of love, disobedient shape-shifter, devotional singer, visual mythology artist and political activist. She graduated from Jagiellonian University in Kraków in Poland – cultural anthropology and Performers House in Denmark and Artness by Shahar Dor in Israel. In 2019 she fled to Copenhagen due to raising violence against LGTBQ+ people in Poland.
Ness – THE MIRACLES OF ORAL PLEASURES is part of the exhibition Strike Gently Away 2 and is funded by the DANISH ARTS FOUNDATION.

THE REAL OFFICE
KUNST + REALITÄT
is a curatorial team and production office operating between Stuttgart and Vienna. →About
Curating
Als kuratorisches Team gestalteten wir spartenübergreifende Gruppenausstellungen und Performanceprogramme. Die Formate und Konstellationen reichen von selbst initiierten Projekten in Leerständen wie STRIKE GENTLY AWAY, eine Ausstellung mit internationalen Künstler*innen in Salzburg und Stuttgart, über von Institutionen beauftragten Veranstaltungen wie I’M EVERY WOMAN, ein Performanceabend zu feministischem Protest im Landesmuseum Württemberg, oder die Online-Ausstellung HARDWARE ALMOST FEELS REAL für die Gesellschaft für Informatik in Berlin.
As a curatorial team, we have designed several interdisciplinary group exhibitions and performance programs. The formats and constellations range from self-initiated projects in vacant spaces such as STRIKE GENTLY AWAY, an international group show with contemporary art in Salzburg and Stuttgart, to events commissioned by institutions such as the performance evening on feminist protest I'M EVERY WOMAN at the Landesmuseum Württemberg in Stuttgart or the online exhibition HARDWARE ALMOST FEELS REAL for the German Informatics Society in Berlin.
Production
Als Produzent*innen begleiten wir Künstler*innen, freie Gruppen und Institutionen von ihrer ersten Idee bis zur Umsetzung. Wir unterstützen bei der Konzeption, Mittelakquise, dem Aufbau von Kooperationen, Öffentlichkeitsarbeit bis hin zur konkreten Organisation. Wir sind in vielen Genres wie Performance, Musiktheater, Tanz, Theorie und Literatur tätig und können auf ein großes Netzwerk in diesen Bereichen sowie auf Pressevertreter*innen, Fotograf*innen und Unterstützung bei Technik und Design zurückgreifen.
As producers, we accompany artists, independent groups and institutions from their initial idea to its realization. We provide support with writing concepts, fundraising, developing collaborations, with public relations as well as organizing the project. We work in fields such as performance, music theatre, dance, theory, and literature and have access to a large network in these areas as well as journalists, photographers, technicians, and graphic designers.
Publications
THE REAL OFFICE verfasst Texte, ist redaktionell tätig und entwickelt Buch- bzw. Katalogprojekte zum Beispiel mit den Künstlerinnen Justyna Koeke oder Gabriela Oberkofler. Neben Printprodukten erarbeiten wir auch die Konzeption und Umsetzung von digitalen Magazin-Formaten oder Homepages sowie begleitende Texte zur Vermittlung von Ausstellungen.
THE REAL OFFICE writes texts, edits, and develops publications and catalogs, for example with the artists Justyna Koeke and Gabriela Oberkofler. In addition to print products, we conceive and create digital magazines or homepages as well as accompanying texts for exhibitions.
