Tonight will happen the opening of the Black Mirror exhibition, for which we published a pretty well designed catalogue, followed by Verna’s exclusive concert at 9pm!

BE THERE !

I dreamt of a camera travelling over the surface of my body, expanses of skin and looming facial features. I could see the image. It moved over my teeth and plunged down my throat, taking me on a visceral journey into my esophagus. Then the camera took a similar voyage into my intestine and my cervix, making visible an architecture of glistening walls and pools of visceral fluid.

BOOK SOON AVAILABLE HERE

With the concept of “re|actions”, Annie Vigier and Franck Apertet reveal the approach that they have adopted and which constitutes the uniqueness of their work. The work touches upon the interpretation of systems of representation. It is developed by confronting the identity of exhibition contexts that it infiltrates. Each piece produced expresses a unique position, its presentation is developed using procedures that are incessantly re-interpreted. This approach of individualising implementations constitutes the choreographers’ unity of reflection and places the progression of the work at the centre of the debate over transdisciplinary issues and the exportation of works into other contexts.

On March 5th and 6th, the company will perform the first application of “Topologie” in the frame of the residency at the National Choreographic Center of Franche-Comté in Belfort.

Predrag Pajdic is a London based art historian, editor and curator (graduated from Central St. Martins and the Courtauld Institute of Art) who has been exhibiting and curating in the UK and internationally, as well as writing and lecturing on contemporary art.
Sang Bleu will be featured in the show he is curating in London in May, Lingering Whispers.

Does self expression flourish under pressure? Is creativity at its most acute in times of social, political and financial crises? More than anything, do the arts provide hope during periods of extreme difficulty? Asks Predrag Pajdic.

SB contributor and friend Aaron Schuster will defend his doctoral dissertation:

“The Trouble With Pleasure: Philosophy and Psychoanalysis”

on Friday, March 26 at 3pm at The Cardinal Mercier Hall, Hoger Instituut voor Wijsbegeerte, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (BELGIUM).

No idea if this is a public defense, but I thought we should all know it. Hopefully, Aaron will be then sundered from life, and death will become shy of him.

TkH (Walking Theory or Teorija koja Hoda in Serbian) is an opening collective lecture and discussion about the Walking Theory platform practice in last 10 years. Theory is still considered as something practiced in cabinets, in research institutes, as well as something that castrates the art practice. With the name, TkH – Walking Theory, we emphasize that theory is always also a (social) practice, that it is a relevant, potent and socially intervening agency, which cannot be separated from the art practice, let alone be its adversary. In order to stress its performative function we explore the potentialities of performance as a new scientific/theoretical paradigm but also promote the idea of performing arts as a critical concept that characterizes spectacle-based society in which we live. In this light, the main question is: How to perform theoretical practice on paper (TkH Journal); in a more traditional performance geography (stage, gallery, classroom) but also in electronic and digital media and institutional contexts from university to sport? And how can theory-as-practice – through collective work, self-organisation and self-education as well as in many resistance tactics – critically transform a given context?

An intervention by TkH will take place on Friday 5th, 7.30pm at the Laboratoires D’Aubervilliers: BE THERE!
