In the first, research phase, and dialogue with curator Michal Novotný, the artistic team explored the internal dynamics of the exhibition’s hanging and their possible echoes in choreographic structures. The team will now present the results of this process as a durational, ongoing dance performance. You are also invited to the accompanying workshops, special guided tours, and conversations.
CHOREOGRAPHIC RESPONSE TO CURATORIAL WORK
The exhibition displays an ongoing dissolution of binaries that continue to operate discursively and politically, varying across different times. Artworks, aesthetics, and methodologies are placed in shifting categories, which, while not disappearing, lose their presumed fixity.
Within this metastable situation, where dances emerge and respond to each other, Chauchat stretches time and points the attention to the singularity of each dance. Echoes and contrasts permeate space and time, with the tension of anticipation never fully resolving. Visitors are invited to spend time with this situation, sense the vibratory field among the dancers, and observe the dances from afar or up close, as they appear along with the unfolding but often inscrutable relationships between them.
