PROGRAMME
Brazilian artist Lygia Clark called her animallike, moving sculptures Bichos (critters), which could be manipulated by the viewers. In his solo, performance artist Wagner Schwartz juxtaposes his own mobility with a reproduction of such a “critter”, which looks a bit like a paper ship. Here, too, the audience is invited to intervene – not by setting the sculpture-body in motion, but Schwartz himself. This is followed by artist Laurent Goldring, who shows a film from his Dialogues series, which in turn was created in conjunction with Schwartz’s work.
With the support of the Institut français à Paris and the Institut français d’Autriche.
