NO HOPE FOR TOMORROW is a solo exhibition by Lauren Fueyo in Bergrummet at Galleri Konstepidemin.

A sunken ship at the bottom of the ocean floor sets the stage for a strange kind of memorial service. Colorful, barnacled candelabras and wreaths surround the ship’s passengers who have absolutely nothing in common, except the sinking. Since there is no returning to the surface, two questions remain on their minds:

What do we make of the sinking? And what can still be made here? 

Performance during the exhibition opening: There’s a hole in my heart, there’s a hole in the boat.

Friday, September 5 at 18:30.

Performed between four music stands, this lecture-performance weaves together recollections of the sinking through the eyes of a passenger, the ship’s captain, the water molecules, and the artist herself. Audience members are seated as fellow passengers bearing witness to this dreamlike reflection on meaning-making amidst the meaninglessness of wreckage.

Hot drinks, seating, and blankets will be provided.

A zine of short stories and poetry will be available for purchase after the performance and will remain available in the main gallery throughout the exhibition.
