COMEDOWN
(Sunrise Ceremony)
in partnership with
ANTHEA BLACK
as Part IV of
Van Gabbermuseum
The Sunrise Ceremony begins at 6:03 am, during ‘civil twilight’, to break with chrononormative displays of public culture. Notions of civility and time often dictate individual and collective behaviour within public spaces of the street, the dance floor, and the museum. Gabber shows us that each social body lives by its own, often unspoken codes and timescales. COMEDOWN (Sunrise Ceremony) is framed by a textile piece depicting visual and perceptual interpretation of Gabber jacket patterns, party crowds, and Van Abbe collection pieces of public gatherings.
