“[?!] is an in-depth introduction to the artistic practice of Lea Porsager, published on the occasion of her solo exhibition STRIPPED at Moderna Museet, Stockholm. This comprehensive monograph documents Porsager’s many types of making, whether experiments, sculptures, 3D animations, or texts. Porsager’s practice persistently preserves space for instability. Through fluctuating material agency, her work meditates on excited and exhausted states—in particles as well as bodies. New and republished essays delve into Porsager’s proclivity for experimentation, speculations, and manifestations that collide different concepts of energy, knowledge, and spirituality. Edited by Milena Høgsberg in close collaboration with the artist. Texts by Lars Bang Larsen, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Milena Høgsberg, Jeppe Ugelvig, and Lea Porsager & Synnøve B. Brøgger”

“The Anatta Experiment (2012) revolves around Monte Verità in Ascona, Switzerland. In the early 1900s, this magnetic hill served as a lodestone for spiritual rebellion, attracting anarchists, free-love advocates, Dadaists, theosophists, psychoanalysts, and occultists, all rejecting an increasingly materialistic society. In the late summer of 2011, Porsager invited seven friends to Casa Anatta, Monte Verità’s principal building, in its final moments before undergoing major, irrevocable restoration. Anatta became the scene of a week-long vertical drop into tantric laws and processes normally obscured by the noise of productivity, ultimately finding its crux within Harald Szeemann’s archive and his puzzling Strukturmutter. The Anatta Experiment (or Anational Congress of the Multi-Breasted Monstrosity) delivers a reversed coup de grâce on the utopian Lebensreform and Die Mutter herself.”

“/FOOD FOR THE MOON/ — Sluggish and Well-lubricated is an artist book by Lea Porsager, edited by Synnøve B. Brøgger and the artist. The book was made in connection with Porsager’s exhibition FOOD FOR THE MOON — Sluggish and Well-lubricated (2013), commissioned by Henie Onstad Kunstsenter (HOK) and curated by Milena Hoegsberg.

The book gropingly handles all of Lea Porsager’s works that in turn have gropingly handled aspects of spiritual teacher G.I. Gurdjieff’s brainy legacy, dubbed Porsager’s G.I.G. Slime Series (2008–2014). /FOOD FOR THE MOON/ — Sluggish and Well-lubricated can be viewed as its culmination, with every leftover drop of Beelzebubic ejaculate accounted for.”
