The artistic research
“Come into a room, except without a room: come into an embrace, if you hum along just right the flesh will come alive. Not yours, not mine, what becomes in the meeting of our resonating attention.”
The black box is a device for organizing attention that fantasizes neutrality. It’s proposal of unrestricted creation for artists, on one hand, and unique direct experience for guests, on the other, muffles out it’s material presence and history as determining the quality and ability for togetherness generated therein. As a respond to HAUT’s open call with the focus to let go of habits, or rather disturb them, this group of artists will experiment performative ethics and strategies that attempt to re-formulate the conventional relation between artists and guests, generating a wider sensibility to that which we share in an inclusive metabolic sphere.
Starting from continuous materiality, what kind of body does the black box create? What are the implications of shifting from a subjective-centered performative space to one that emphasises our multiple entanglements? How can we make the blackbox resonate?
The artists
Marina Dubia, Maria Lepistö, Oriane Paras, PJ Fossum and Sara Vieira Marques are an eclectic group of performance practitioners, working across visual arts, choreography, movement, sound, scenopgraphy and discursive practices. Led By Marina Dubia, this residency is their first approch to research as a group, aiming to connect with the materiality of the black box and its implications to attention and togetherness. Intimacy with improvisation, an interest in sound and voice and a desire to explore modes of relation between guest and artist beyond established performative conventions will be some of the points of contact that forms this constellation. Every group work is a laboratory for living together, and over this week they will cross-pollinate their practices in an open-ended experimental format.
About IN PROCESS
IN PROCESS is HAUT’s 1-2 week long residency format that makes space for physical brainstorms supporting the investigation and the development of new ideas for the stage.
The artists have been invited into this residency through the open call “IN PROCESS – Beyond conventions”, whose focus was to investigate the black box and challenge practice and process. Encourage artists to think and work differently than they usually do, and to create processes that inspire innovation and new thinking. The open call was curated in collaboration with Marie-Lydie Nokouda.
The residency is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation, The Municipality of Copenhagen and The Bikuben Foundation.
