Avgang 2026: Julie Barfod / Solar Milkshake Cabaret

mmmmm…

sun song
sun song
Solidary sun

A sweet vapor filled the room and small lights flickered in purple, green, yellow, red. You were served a pale liquid. A foam gathered on the surface. You took three calm sips.

Suddenly, your eyes rolled inward, into your skull. At the moment it turned dark, you saw the liquid pouring down your esophagus, into your stomach.
I will give you a myth, as an image of what we are fighting for.

Solar Milkshake Cabaret is a sensorial installation work where the gallery space is transformed into a performance stage inspired by the hybrid form of the cabaret tradition as a place for art, serving and as a social and political meeting place.
In Solar Milkshake Cabaret, the reproductive body is the cabaret star, pouring its products of flow into vibrating deluge.

Julie Barfod was born (in Telemark). She lives and works in Oslo. She is finishing her MA from the Oslo Academy of Fine Arts in spring 2026, she is previously an architect (MA, Bergen School of Architecture). Her works unfold as immersive installations in which architecture and space become active agents. She often works collaboratively and interdisciplinarily, mainly with performance, sculpture, text and sound. Her most recent works examine the material and social dimensions of reproductive work, where she draws lines between the private, erotic, political and cosmic.
