Textual Proletar - 2011 - exhibition

TEXTUAL PROLETAR

Exhibition project 2011

Choreography and paintings

by Kristine Øksendal

Performance by Magnus Myhr

Venue: Project space, Cort Adelersgate 33, Oslo, December 2011

 "You possess a rare light which, in the 20 years I have been researching Humans, no Human have ever exhibited to me. Because of this light, now that I am no longer researching Humans, I accept from you the Sun and the Sea"

A. Artaud

The project explores parallel issues within the history of modern theatre, dance and abstract painting: ideas of utopia, individual freedom in relation to movement and concept as a starting point for gestures.

For this project there was produced a choreography for a live performance in collaboration with Norwegian dancer Magnus Myhr. Key element for this choreography is sonic material from the paining process transferred into dance.

The paintings are all made by spraying paint over found objects, these objects were later used as props in the performance.

The work refers to early European avant-garde, where painting and sculpture were combined with performance and sound-art.
