Through this programme ICF responded to the theme of Our Magic Hour through the frame of the ephemeral and the temporary, inviting curators, artists and audiences at Yokohama 2011 to consider the ways in which performance disturbs and activates a sensibility in which art objects become un- stable and volatile subjects.
From Gutai through Fluxus, to contemporary artists – such as Sachiko Abe and Tatsumi Orimoto – Japan is a crucible of innovative and challenging performance and media art. In the context of the thematic strategy of the Yokohama Triennale, we explored the legacy and future of performance internationally.
The symposium was staged in three acts followed by Q+A for the audiences. The two pop up workshops lasted two hours.
PROGRAMME
Day One 05.08.11
Workshop – The future is disturbed.
Workshops were facilitated and moderated by Mark Waugh. The first workshop in Yokohama addressed the ways in which artists and curators conceive of the relationship between the artwork and its mediation and how curators working with museums can expand exhibitions beyond the gallery and traditional taxonomies of order.
