For 2024’s final iteration of The Live Art Series, ISO is excited to invite Mette Sterre to host a transformative evening operating from an intersectional queer feminist perspective. Mette Sterre is a Dutch artist creating performance, sculpture, installation and video in an effort to investigate notions of materiality, perception and intuition at the edges of the (non)human body. Her performances and sculptures feature hand-made, labor-intensive “body-masks” and props that utilize elements of folkloric and carnivalesque traditions of temporary autonomous spaces, myths, and legends in a playful way.

‘Mette Sterre Estafette Cabarette – invasion and multiplication in the reaction of the host issues’ is a performance situated in the dimension of embodied dissonance, that brings together the deconstruction of human certainties philosophically – and doing so in a disorientating and colorful way. The evening promises a playful visual and sonic escape from fixed definitions, a meeting point of machines and monsters, hybrids and cyborgs, the organic and the inorganic… and always pertaining to the artist’s motto: “improve, improvise”. For The Live Art Series, Sterre takes us on a journey towards intimacy with new assemblages, a tentacular entity interrogating binarisms, and altogether transpiring as an amalgamation of ecstasy, beauty, fear and abjection. The show is performed together with Peter Cripps Clarks and Artemise Ploegaerts.
