WARABHADRASANA: FEBRUARY // FUNNY GAMES DURING WARTIME // OVERLAPPING KASSEL // DOCUMENTA15
SUMMER 2022 I WAS MAKING A BIG SERIES OF ANTI-WAR PERFORMANCES/INSTALLATIONS ALL AROUND EUROPE – FUNNY GAMES DURING WARTIME. IT WAS THE SMALLEST I COULD DO AS AN ARTIST. I WAS MAKING MY ANTI-WAR ACTIONS NOT ONLY IN GALLERIES, BUT ALSO IN PUBLIC PLACES. I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTS MY ART AND ESPECIALLY MY ANTI-WAR ART.
International performance, visual and sound artist Josef Ka blends richly varied influences – everything from Butoh dance to cinematic theory – with her decades of nomadic world travel to create bold, highly personal site-specific art.
Josef Ka’s themes range from investigating the place of the human body in contemporary reality to exploring the inner body as a representative system of our human and post human kind.
Her artistic practice often actively invites the audience inside a sort of private reverie, making it is a deeply participatory one; she actively engages with both her audiences and with a wide diversity of other experimental artists.
In addition to her own work, Josef Ka curates a regular series of events and exhibitions at her Helsinki underground space – Sauna Gallery – and teaches classes on the theory and practice of performance art. She is also the inventor of the WORST THEATRE and her yogic training system, KA-YOGA.
