One of the most important choreographers of our time, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker has created a three day exhibition in the form of a live dance work, to be performed in the Turbine Hall at the heart of the new ɫشý. Exploring how choreography can take on the role of an exhibition, this continuous work will take place for free in the evening of 8 July and throughout the day on 9 and 10 July 2016, accompanied by free workshops for the public to join.
Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s latest ground-breaking work, entitledWork/Travail/Arbeid, has transposed her acclaimed dance performanceVortex Temporum2013 from the theatre to the museum. It was first staged in this continuous form at WIELS Brussels over nine weeks in 2015, before travelling to the Centre Pompidou in Paris in February 2016. It has now been reconceived for the unique public space of ɫشý’s Turbine Hall, and will go on to be presented at MoMA in New York from 25 March to 2 April 2017. The exhibition is performed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s dance company Rosas and the musicians of Ictus Ensemble for contemporary music.
In conjunction with the performance, De Keersmaeker has created a new workshop inviting public participation. Using a simple dance phrase, taught by one of the dancers in De Keersmaeker’s company Rosas, these workshops will make the dance material fromWork/Travail/Arbeidopen and accessible to anyone.
Work/Travail/Arbeidis the latest example of ղٱ’s wider commitment to performance and live work. The opening of the new ɫشý is being celebrated by a programme of special events, performances and new commissions, highlighting the importance of live artistic practices and their place in the 21st century museum. De Keersmaeker first performed at ɫشý in 2012, when her seminal workFase: Four Movements to the Music of Steve Reichwas staged during the opening of the Tanks.
