Dance in the Gallery: Museography CHOREOGRAPHY

Choreography by Alice Chauchat

EVENT OVER
Trade Fair Palace (National Gallery Prague)
10–11 Sep & 8–9 Oct 2024

Internationally acclaimed choreographer Alice Chauchat (FR/DE), together with dancers Hana Polanská (CZ), Nhung Dang (CZ), Ran Jiao (CN/CZ) and Daniela Kolková (CZ) complete their work on the “choreography of relationships”, staged by National Gallery Prague’s permanent exhibition 1939–2021: The End of the Black-and-White Era.

Back to all events

In the first, research phase, and dialogue with curator Michal Novotný, the artistic team explored the internal dynamics of the exhibition’s hanging and their possible echoes in choreographic structures. The team will now present the results of this process as a durational, ongoing dance performance. You are also invited to the accompanying workshops, special guided tours, and conversations.

 

CHOREOGRAPHIC RESPONSE TO CURATORIAL WORK

The exhibition displays an ongoing dissolution of binaries that continue to operate discursively and politically, varying across different times. Artworks, aesthetics, and methodologies are placed in shifting categories, which, while not disappearing, lose their presumed fixity.

Within this metastable situation, where dances emerge and respond to each other, Chauchat stretches time and points the attention to the singularity of each dance. Echoes and contrasts permeate space and time, with the tension of anticipation never fully resolving. Visitors are invited to spend time with this situation, sense the vibratory field among the dancers, and observe the dances from afar or up close, as they appear along with the unfolding but often inscrutable relationships between them.
