MINOR ARCANA is a participatory performance piece in the form of an oracle that gives each visitor a personalised tarot reading. The National Museum is her temple and the collection of paintings her deck of cards. The work brings together site-specific performance with dance and classical painting as the language of human life and narrative.

 

MINOR ARCANA on display in the exhibition Romanticism - a way to see at the National Museum. It presents a visual world that frightens, entices and opens up to unknown spaces. It turns trifles into poetry and invites the viewer to take their place in the art. In the process, you can literally become part of the art yourself.

Time

Thursdays 26 September, 24 October and 28 November 2024, 14:30-19:20.

Each individual performance experience takes about 50 minutes, 16 sessions per day.

Location

Gathering outside the Southern Light Court, National Museum.

About Poste Restante

Since 2007 Poste Restante has produced several large-scale performance works and presented them at festivals such as Baltic Circle, (FI) Santiago A Mil (CL) and Salzburger Festspeiele (AT). 

At Poste Restante, each visitor is the centre of the work, the protagonist and the ultimate recipient. Each visitor is treated with respect for their particular circumstances. Information is always clear and participation is concrete. Decisions must be made. Glass must be shattered. Fears must be challenged. 

The works come in the form of activities, unexpected but sincere. For example, a fitness centre for those of us who find it hard to 'have fun', or a helpline for the politically depressed. 

Poste Restante works on a site- and situation-specific basis, taking its visitors to unexpected places such as abandoned offices, churches open at night, anonymous backstreets and inaccessible embassy villas. The location is often hyper-realistic, functional and entirely at the visitors' disposal. The situation is often characterised by a sense of recognition, sometimes by an eerie feeling and sometimes by nostalgia. We move in the memory of the Folkhemmet, among the kitchen cupboards of public housing and in the gymnasiums and recreation rooms of childhood. 

The works deal with difficult personal dilemmas, inner conflicts and shameful desires. There are rarely any easy answers or definitive solutions. The works want to give their visitors the opportunity to think complicated thoughts through and the courage to take their own feelings seriously. 

MINOR ARCANA by Poste Restante Presented in collaboration with National Museum.
