Leister, Wiebke and Cohen, Emmanuel, 2024, Show, Exhibition or Event, Still standing still - The medialities of the performative lab

Abstract or Description:

Still Standing Still Performance Lab: 19 - 21 Jan 2024 Exhibition: 21 - 29 Jan 2024 Galerie D, Parsons Paris, The New School The 'Medialities of the Performative Lab' proposes a heuristic experimentation of the connections between performing bodies, photo-filmic devices and situations. Starting from a seemingly simple exercise - documenting the performative act of standing still - we are investigating how artistic works are negotiating the borders of stillness/movement, falling/ failing, activity/passivity (rising/reclining, agency/inactivity), camera/ body/image, performing for the camera (recording/creating, documentation/work, intermedialities), posing/posture/duration Exploring the act and the process of being-photographed and staging-for-the-camera, we are asking a gallery audience to engage with different apparatuses such as image-making installations in order to open a space for an additive and iterative 'public process of making' that becomes an exhibition in-progress. Based on precedents from the history of performance art and contemporary art practices, we will develop a parkour of installation-stations that enfold apparative situations to test the relationship of bodies and cameras based on different event scores. These will result in participatory acts of creating in-order-to-notice and being-with in order to learn from each other's experiences past and present: Arrangements and relationships that will constantly change, equally creating shifting intervals between quasi-choreographic installation-apparatus-recording works. Concept: Emmanuel Cohen (Parsons Paris, The New School) & Wiebke Leister (Royal College of Art, London) With: Filipe Figueiredo (IADE, Lisbon) & Cosimo Chiarelli (University of Lisbon / University of Pisa), Federica Stevanin (University of Padova)
