Maike Lond Malmborg’ s lecture-performance “10 journeys to a place where nothing happens” is a result of a highly subjective research on possible outcomes of the recent political trend, suggesting a merging process of the cultural and private sectors financial interests. The project started with outlining a dream scenario in which Maike would establish a long lasting relation with a patronage – enter the era of romanticism – and thereby break her current dependence on trends, curators, art institutions, public funds and the politics of Ministry of Culture. Throughout a 18 month period Maike Lond Malmborg looked at different prospects of fulfilling her dream, ranging from encounters with possible patrons and sponsors to an actual employer/ employee relationship as well as being a member of a discussions panel on Estonian national TV.
Maike Lond Malmborg (1981) has a diploma from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague. She is an artist working in the frame of white cube as well as black box. Maike is one of the initiators of an artist collective MIMproject.org, her installations and performances have been displayed and shown in theatres, media centres and festivals around Europe.
