Inhalte | More and more art exhibitions present nowadays visual art performances - by visual artists as well as from/or in close collaboration with practitioners from the performing arts as theater, danse or music. This is not a new trend – as visual art performances from the historical avant-garde onwards have existed – but it is an increasing one that shifts radically our understanding of contemporary art. So what happens when visual art performances enter the museum i.e. exhibition creating events that unfold in the same space-time as that of the audience? What new audience economies understood as well as contemporary attention economies are put in place? And what relation is there between performance and economics? Looking at different forms of performances spanning from “futuristic vaudeville” to “postdramatic” practices, we will analyze what new forms of visual art performances there are and what characterizes them. Expanding on new performance practices in the field of contemporary visual art, the seminar will touch on myriad themes, from questions of authorship and authenticity; radical subject formation, gender politics and racism; socio-economic topics; asking how to create socially and political engaged performance practices. In the first week Marie-France Rafael will organize a workshop with Frances Chiaverini - Performer, Activist, Choreographer and choreographic consultant for Anne Imhof. Participants will explore some aspects of new performance practices and its intersection with their practices. The second week will be led by the artist Paulina Olowska. Together with artist the Cajsa Von Zeipel, and Julie Verhoeven the participants will discuss the nature of the spectacle as a manifestation of togetherness and produce a sort of a costume attire for performance. A reader will be send out before the seminar. About the lecturers: Painter, performer, director, curator and collaborator, Paulina Olowska (b. 1976, Gdansk, Poland) is an author of many projects.
