KOPI
Group show in Atelier 59, a studio turned into exhibition space for one annual show, in which all the works related to the colours the theme 'copy'. I chose to take the invitation litterarely. 'Kopi' in Danish means 'copy', but 'kopi' in Indonesia means 'coffee'.
Coffee Breath, 2010
Performance
Kopi Luwak coffee, Marina Abramovic illy collection espresso cups, camping gas burner, coffee grinder, water, scissors, lighter, beach ball, folding table, folding chair, cardboard box
Kopi Luwak is the world's most exclusive and expensive coffee, due to the coffee bean's passage through an Indonesian tree-cat's instestines, followed by cleansing and toasting of the bean. The espresso cups are the work of the classic performance artist Marina Abramovic. They were made as an art edition for the coffee company illy. The images on the cups depict Abramovic on the beaches of her homeland, Bosnia, before she left her country. During the performance six cups of Kopi Luwak espresso will be sipped from the Marina Abramovic cups. After each sip, the coffee breath will be exhaled into a beach ball identical to the one on the espresso cups. The performance ends with the inflated beach ball being separated from the performance and placed in a corner of the room. As a spirited object.
