BODYTALKS: Street Projections & Video Installations in the Netherlands
Sept 30- Oct 23 2011
MAASTRICHT, NETHERLANDS
BodyTalks is a study into how the disciplines of video art and short dance films influence each other, and how they can evoke new, unexpected interpretations of bodily expression or body language.
The street is where everyone is aware of their own bodily presence and where they are alert to the nonverbal signals from others. In this public space, the BodyTalks – Video Art & Cinedans in Public Space exhibition shows 23 videos that focus on the moving body. The selected works of art offer a diverse picture of the strength, wealth and scope of non-verbal communication and dance. The videos and short dance films have rarely been shown outside the walls of arts institutions or (movie) theatres, yet thanks to their specific content they can easily be shown in the urban landscape. In the public space, they enter into a direct one-on-one relationship with the onlooker or passerby in the street.
