I SEE RED/ Interventions - Transitional Sculpture, Michiel Keuper, March 2016 |
In March I participated in an improvisational performance series I SEE RED/ Interventions, together with Peter Pleyer, dancer/choreographer and Andrea Keiz, video artist. Over the course of one week we brought together our individual practices and ideas/projects that we were currently working on.
Partly inspired by the artist Barbara Kasten, who's known for creating studio settings and subsequently photographing them, I proposed transitional balancing sculptures from different materials, small objects and props. During the performance I would start building and balancing from scratch. Hence the installations were not fixed and the outcome would be different each night.
From the program:
Inspired by the history of interventions by
artists and designers in the field of choreography and vice versa,
dancer/choreographer Peter Pleyer
and visual composer/designer Michiel
Keuper use this series of performances to improvise new space and dance
compositions based on their long-term collaboration. On Friday and Saturday they
will be joined by video artist Andrea
Keiz. With a focus on process, the audience is invited to witness the
creation of a landscape of objects, costumes, dances, books, stories and
images.
