26. & 27.10.2024
Class for Performative Arts at the HGB Leipzig
Cooperation with the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig
How can an institution address its history? What methods can be used to approach, explore, and expand upon alternative narratives? Based on these questions, students from Isabel Lewis’s and Lissy Willberg’s Class for Performative Arts at the HGB Leipzig are exploring these issues by approaching and engaging with historical materials found at Kunst Raum Mitte.
As part of the research process, the students presented ELEFANT in June 2024 at the experimental institution Callie’s in Berlin-Wedding. As an open rehearsal and performative investigation, ELEFANT offered a glimpse into the ongoing investigation. It asked: How can artistic research consciously focus on affects, and what could this achieve? How can historical references, fragmentary stories, and ephemera be handled with both care and playfulness? What resonances do students find with the Permanente Kunstkonferenz (Permanent Art Conference), a performance festival held at galerie weisser elefant in 1989?
On 26. & 27.10.2024, the students will continue to pursue these shared and tested methodologies and present their research at Kunst Raum Mitte.
Further information will follow shortly.
