Work/Travail/Arbeid at The Museum of Modern Art in New York
Published on 08.03.2017, 10:08
What would it mean for choreography to perform as an exhibition? This question forms the starting point for Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s Work/Travail/Arbeid.
For this exhibition De Keersmaeker has transposed her hour-long dance performance, Vortex Temporum (2013) from the theatre stage, and transferred the intricate intertwining of sound and movement to the open situation of the museum.
Performed over five consecutive days this new adaptation of the exhibition, first presented at WIELS Brussels over nine weeks, is reconceived for the unique space of MoMA’s Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium.
Work/Travail/Arbeid is performed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s dance company Rosas and the musicians of Ictus ensemble for contemporary music.
