DROPPING SIGNIFICANCE - AN ECOSOMATIC RESEARCH

Pozývame vás na verejný výstup z rezidencie Kingy Szemessy (HU) a Signy Schiavo Campo (IT). 

Ich dvojtýždňová umelecká rezidencia v Telocvični bola zameraná na:
- in.fertile grounds (pôda, ľudské telo, domény, čas)
- parazity 
- haptonómiu (dotyk, trenie, náklonnosť)
- približovanie a odďaľovanie (hlboký čas Zeme a osobné rozprávania)

Inšpirujeme sa perspektívou ekosomatiky.
Projekt sa opiera o snahu premostiť neprepojiteľné ženské skúsenosti (matky, matky, ktoré chcú byť matkami, matky, ktoré nikdy nebudú matkami atď.) prostredníctvom metafor a telesných praktík. Okrem toho sa snaží rozpustiť hierarchiu medzi rôznymi odbornosťami: buďte pôrodná asistentka, biogeologička, umelkyňa, filozofka, cvičiteľka jogy, inštalatérka, ste vítaná - a potrebná.

ps: Je to "watch and talk" v okolí Telocvične a Novej Cvernovky, ale niekedy sa budeme viac pozerať na vás a hovoriť budete len vy.

Rozhovor bude viesť Eva Priečková a bude prebiehať v angličtine.
