Blow the Boutique

Of joy, sex, destruction and the mystery of time, Blow the Boutique presents Malga Kubiak’s legendary video series The Ego Trip Collection (1984–1994), a new performative intervention by Keira Fox on the opening night – including audio in collaboration with Sean Colum – and installations and paintings by Ksenia Pedan. In The Ego Trip Collection, Kubiak confronts the viewer with existential questions through a rapid montage of images, black humour, and explicit imagery. Together, the works form a matrix in which the boundaries between life and art collapse in a flickering, live edit.

Keira Fox is an artist based in London, working with performance, improvisation, sound and props. She co-founded the performance duo New Noveta in 2012 and is one part of the collective TLC23, founded in 2021. Her work explores socio-political struggle, heightened through repetitive actions, often using domestic objects and characterisations of banal, everyday work and dress to amplify resistance via bodily penance. Recent presentations took place at Bolding Gallery (London 2026), Berlin Atonal (Berlin, 2025), and Gropius Bau (Berlin, 2025).

Malga Kubiak (b. 1950, Warsaw) is a writer, performance artist and underground filmmaker, and the director of 40 independent films. She has published four novels and made a significant impact on cultural life in Gothenburg in the 1980s through projects including DS Art Ensemble, Miss Mess and GBG Poetry Art Festival. Since then she has worked between Warsaw and Stockholm as an artist, writer and singer. Her work is currently on display as part of the exhibition The Female Question at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.

Ksenia Pedan (b. 1986, Kharkiv) is an artist based in Stockholm working with sculpture, painting and installation, using interior design as a form and extension of relations and emotional states. Pedan’s work explores the structure and economy of attention. She has previously exhibited as part of an artist duo with Ben Burgis and collaborated with performance artists and musicians where the exhibitions also function as sets for performance. Recent solo shows were presented at Skene (Malmö, 2025), Bonniers Konsthall, (Stockholm, 2024), and Cell Project Space (London, 2023).
