Dennis Tyfus, The Pogo Never Stops

Shows-Dennis Tyfus, The Pogo Never Stops

The work The Pogo Never stops by Dennis Tyfus (Belgium & Euml;, 1979) is a non-stop dance performance of thirteen skytubes or skydancers. The installation turns the Hortiflora park area into a sort of festival site.

A number of elements of the work of Tyfus come together here in one paradoxical performance. He literally sets his boundless drawing practice by providing the skytubes with drawn faces and t-shirts of noise bands. For him this work is another version of the bizarre phenomenon of the Pogodans. The mechanical noise of the fans that drive the skytubes, almost give the whole something animal, Which is still reinforced by the unpredictability of the Zwiep movements. It is a reference to Tyfus & Rsquo; Love for Industri & Euml; le sounds and for music or experimental sound that is usually called Noise. The word & lsquo; Blown & rsquo; that is sometimes used in music midens to describe loud music, Is taken literally here. It is not immediately clear whether the thirteen figures together form a music group or an audience, As a result, the emphasis is mainly on the complex energy of the whole. The Sculptural in Tyfus & Rsquo; Work lies in the way in which his work is very consciously dealing with the space it takes. The work moves and sets moving. In times of social distancing where festivals are prohibited for the time being, Suddenly noticing how in this sculpture the & lsquo; Performers & Rsquo; Just don't touch each other.

The work was already shown in 2017 in a smaller version of three in art room 1646 in The Hague. In 2018 it was work & ndash; extended to a peleton of thirteen figures & ndash; can be seen on Tyfus & Rsquo; Solo exhibition My Niec & Rsquo; s Pierced Knees in the Middelheimmuseum, After which it was purchased for the collection.
