In recent transdisciplinary discourses, contributors from visual art and dance have used terms like mise-en-scène, situation, setting, parcours and choreography in order to define artistic forms of presentation, as well as to specify the aesthetic experience made by the spectators. What these terms have in common is that they point to particular methodologies of assigning and arranging – to different ways by which spaces, objects, meanings and people are activated and related to each other. Therefore, to ask who or what assigns or is assigned in what way, who or what arranges or is arranged, is of critical importance in order to understand the interrelations and transgressions that have developed between the two fields since the 1960s.
Taking into account historical and current examples, and involving perspectives from art history, dance studies and architecture, this conference discusses methodologies of assigning and arranging in visual art and dance. Focussing on moments of transgression, it aims to explore similarities and differences in the respective practices, as well as in the theoretical concepts they correspond with.
No registration required.
