"The manifold (after) lives of performance"

13–15.11.2009
Stuk Kunstencentrum, Leuven and Frascati, Nes 63, Amsterdam

Co-production of de Appel with STUK Kunstencentrum (Leuven).

Since 2006, de Appel has been presenting at regular intervals, under the heading “Situations”, performances by diverse makers - from visual artists to choreographers and writers - who are investigating the notion of the ‘live moment’. In 2009, a year in which de Appel temporarily lacks a home base and is pursuing a ‘disembodied’ programme, a lot of our performances are taking place under the auspices of an institutional alliance with Theater Frascati. With the two-day multidisciplinary symposium “The manifold (after) lives of performance”, which will present the viewpoint of the artist as well as the theorist, de Appel, Frascati and partner STUK Kunstencentrum will be contributing to the creation of knowledge concerning the many current ways in which performance is handed down, preserved and mediated ‘after the fact’.

The time-bound moment of a performance conflicts with the desire to keep these sorts of works of art ‘alive’ afterwards, to collect them and to present them to spectators who were not present at the original moment. How can artists and organisations present ephemeral live actions once again after the short-lived momentum of the original production in a meaningful way?

The two day symposium will look into the (im)possibilities of recording, documenting and archiving, as well as the re-enactment, activating or recontextualisation of actions, happenings and performances. On the basis of examples taken from the practice (case- studies) the symposium will contribute to the theoretical and practical concern with the (after) lives of performances.

With contributions by: Peter Baren (NL) & Ondra Libal (CZ), Dirk Braeckman (BE) & Els Dietvorst (BE) (TIME Festival), Marie Cool (FR) & Fabio Balducci (IT), Serge Delbruyère (BE), Sophie Delpeux (FR), Annie Fletcher (IE/NL), Myriam van Imschoot (BE), Bertha Bermudez (ES) & Scott deLahunta (US), Eric Mangion (FR), Eva Meyer-Hermann (DE), Sarah Vanhee (BE), David Weber–Krebs (BE) & Alexander Schellow (DE).
