[ Past Exhibition 09-12-2009 - 13-02-2010 ]
Marco Evaristti opens ME contemporary with his first gallery exhibition in Copenhagen in several years.
Killme is spread over the gallery's two storeys. On the upper level there is a continuation of the thematization of the death penalty that the artist used last year in his huge performance project at the Royal Danish Playhouse, The Last Fashion, a fashion show with clothes designed for prisoners on death row.
Two of these creations can be found on the dolls of Barbie-style; their middle-class accessories, villa and sports car are replaced here with gallows, an electric chair and an execution bench. The face of the artist appears on the male doll and both doll have voices inserted inside. Everything is cloaked in pink Barbie colours and packed in matching boxes.
From the horrifyingly controlled death penalty above, the lower level explores bestial murder and other mutilations.
