Накратко на български

Перформанс изкуството и начинът, по който се организират изложбите му, се анализират през призмата на идентичността. Това помага да се разбере как езикът и действията формират нашето възприятие за пола, расата и културата в съвременната Европа.

Performativity as Curatorial and Artistic Praxis

Enter any contemporary art museum, gallery, or biennale in 2024, and chances are that performance art will be center “stage.” While historically marginalized in the art world, since the turn of the twenty-first century—and gaining momentum over the past decade—performance is being “exhibited” front and centre in major museums around the globe. Performance artists are taking home illustrious art world prizes, leading museums are inaugurating spaces designed exclusively to house live art, and the field of performance curation is gaining traction. Simultaneously, within academia, the concept of “performativity” is increasingly mobilized across the philosophy of language, deconstruction, gender and queer theory, critical race theory, and the recently founded interdisciplinary field of performance philosophy. There, it is used to theorize how language enacts that which it describes, how meaning is configured through intersubjective exchanges, and how (gendered, racial, sexual, and cultural) identities are formed and expressed. It is within this cultural landscape, and in response to the above paradigmatic and epistemological shifts, that PERFORM emerged. The project sought to develop a theory of performativity as artistic and curatorial practice that would account for the importance of both performance and performativity in present-day European cultural practices informed by 21 st century identity politics. Its four main objectives were: O1) conducting research on contemporary European performance and curatorial practice; O2) training in live arts curation and professionalization skills; O3) disseminating research in academia; O4) communicating findings in the art world.

Цел на проекта

“PERFORM” is a compelling, international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral project that will create an unprecedented dialogue between the concept of “performativity” and contemporary European curatorial and performance practices through the inauguration of a ground-breaking theory of performativity as curatorial and artistic praxis. Supervised by renowned critical theorist Prof. Sonia Arribas, and hosted by the Institute of Culture in the Departament d’Humanitats at Pompeu Fabra University, the project is modeled according to a reciprocal transfer of knowledge that will increase the excellence of all participants, while making a strong impact on European audiences through the communication and dissemination of state-of-the-art knowledge that will foster exchange between the humanities and the arts. It consists of a tailor-made program of training in live arts curation and contemporary European performance art, short research stays to study the curatorial initiatives of the Biennale de Venezia, Performatik Brussels, and the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, and the artistic practices of Anne Imhof (DE), Alex Baczynski-Jenkins (PL), and Santiago Sierra (ES), presenting two papers at international symposia, publishing two peer reviewed articles, teaching, organizing a symposium and a journal launch, etc. The project will culminate in the publication of a monograph with the Performance Philosophy Book Series (Rowman and Littlefield) that will be mentored by secondment supervisor, Dr. Laura Cull Ó Maoilearca at the Academy of Theatre and Dance at the Amsterdam University of the Arts. Framed methodologically within the field of performance philosophy, “PERFORM” will illuminate the shared mechanisms between linguistic and gender performativity and performance art, account for the recent explosion of performance in major art institutions, and demonstrate how performance and performativity are emblematic of the politics and preoccupations of 21st century Europe.
