About

Irina Danilova’s performance Meaning of Life is entering its 36th year, first performed in Kharkiv, Ukraine in 1984. Her hair was exchanged for 1 kilo of butter and the performance maps the migration of the artist from Ukraine, to Russia, and then to the USA. This lifelong performance holds the memories of loss, rebirth, and the politics of the moments in history that were navigated in the moments of the performance. In 2004, after twenty years, Irina was invited to return to Ukraine and perform the piece in Kharkiv. Twenty years prior to this year’s performance she was driving west from New York City to Cleveland to be with her dying father. Irina reenacts subtle aspects of the previous performance that happened twenty years prior to carry the memory of time in each performance. At a moment when we are experiencing the immensity of loss on a global scale, this performance seeks to commemorate those passed. It is dedicated to those we have lost and those who are mourning the loss of loved ones.   

Out of Site is thrilled to partner with the Ukrainian Museum of Modern Art to co-host this performance and an artist talk with Irina Danilova (moderated by Martha Wilson TBC). This performance will be the culminating event of Out of Site in 2020 and poetically draws an end to a year of international collaborations through performance broadcast through our live stream channel Here.
