- Summary:
- "Contemporary choreographic and curatorial practice have a somewhat contentious relationship, arguably ranging from co-operative exchanges at the vanguard of experimental artistic practice to more proprietary tensions within the neoliberal real-estate of major contemporary art institutions. The context of this publication therefore examines the arc of curatorial frameworks that since the early 21st century continues to excavate Western contemporary choreographic practice for its potential to negotiate the systems that govern collectivity, transmission, embodiment, mediation, participation, and immaterial exchange under the 'new' performance turn. The performative qualities of both choreography and dance in the contemporary museum can easily be annexed under the affective economies and exhibitionary formats of the politics of display within neoliberal ideologies that circulate bodies and artistic practices via a mimesis of movement or what André Lepecki (2013) terms the mise-en-scène of 'choreopolitics'. Yet at the same time, radical somatic practices and curatorial approaches that underscore performative embodiment and activate relational awareness of the subject in space-time also instill formats of rupture, resistance and subversion. These discreet approaches within choreographic practice, coupled with performativity as both curatorial and theoretical methodology, unearth a necessary politics of complexity for the constellations of future choreographies of the curatorial."-- provided by distributor.
