Lecturer: Marijana Cvetkovic (Serbia)
26 April (Thursday), 17:00 – 18:30, Structura Gallery
The lecture and the discussion will be in English. Free entrance.
Мore and more highly established visual arts institutions (galleries, museums, biennials) have initiated permanent and already acknowledged dance programs, show dance in exhibition contexts and build stable relations with the dance institutions and experts who have strong positions (and influences) on the dance art world. This lecture will try to answer the questions about the contexts (cultural, political and economic) in which this trend occurred in the Western art centers and what kind of potentiality we can identify in the dance practice for institutional critique. It will take into consideration also the reverse effects of the museum institution on artistic and organizational practices in the dance field. The lecture will present several selected examples and will be based on the analysis of curatorial, artistic and theoretical concepts, proposing a possible entrance to the future research of this rich topic.
