Helena performed The Other Room as a durational piece at The Barbican Art Gallery as part of the Surreal House Exhibition on 10th June 2010. For this reworking of the piece Helena performed directly underneath Rebecca Horn’s Concert for Anarchy and incorporated the sounds from the work into the performance. The floor underneath The Concert for Anarchy was covered in 15 litres of fluid and Helena repeatedly attempted to stand up and tap dance for the duration of 1 hr, constantly falling, failing and trying to dance.
Helena was interviewed after performing The Other Room at the Barbican Art Gallery, you can watch the interview HERE.
The Surreal House Exhibition featured work by a host of artists, architects and film makers including Salvador Dali, Marcel Duchamp, Alberto Giacometti, René Magritte, Man Ray, Joseph Cornell and Maya Deren, as well as contemporary figures such as Louise Bourgeois, Rebecca Horn, Edward Kienholz and Rem Koolhaas.
