The first of Creamcake’s “Is it cold in the water?” series is its own experiment in coexistence, taking over Liquidrom’s spa complex on May 10 to find a scale of energy, emotion, and intensity that suits its community.
Split into one morning and one afternoon slot, the day’s program will feature Hayden Dunham, Jazmina Figueroa, Julianne Lee, Li Yilei, Simon(e) Jaikiriuma Paetau in both slots, with the exception of two additional participants.
Monilola Olayemi Ilupeju conceives and curates a reading session with invited artists Luzie Meyer, Nadia Marcus, Savanna Morgan at the event starting 9:30am. Saint Precious performs for the following 12pm slot.
Invited artists respond to the discrete water environments of Liquidrom’s hot and cold basins and saunas, not only as a metaphorical space for oceanic healing, but also a material place where fixed identities and normative notions of bodies and corporeality sink as if into a swamp.
For those who wish to attend, please take note of Liquidrom’s spa guidelines, including leaving your phones and cameras behind, consuming food and drink at the bar, and smoking only in the designated outdoor area. Don’t forget your swimsuit for the pool, but be prepared to take it off if you wish to use the sauna!
