MOVE: CHOREOGRAPHING YOU
“A new year: a new routine.”
Hayward Gallery, Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX | 0844 875 0073 | More information
It's happened to the best of us; we're asked to dance and then subjected to a chaotic kamikaze of flailing limbs and poor direction, leaving us questioning how dance could ever be considered an art form. Move: Choreographing You at the Hayward Gallery however, asks you to dance but then thankfully - due to clever choreography and curation - also promises a captivating art display.
This exhibition, by internationally renowned visual artists and choreographers from the last 50 years, invites visitors to become participants in installations and sculptures; movement from one piece of work to the next is cleverly manipulated by a sequence of concertinaed screens. You start by squeezing yourself into the fluorescent saturated space of Bruce Nauman's Green Light Corridor and soon you find yourself hanging from William Forsyth's gym rings, or balancing on Robert Morris' log.
The exhibition is playful and fun, but it is more than just an art connoisseur's obstacle course masquerading as exhibition. The works trigger intellectual thought too, in particular a consideration of phenomenological experience and a contemplation of binaries, like freedom vs. restriction, passivity vs. activity and embodiment vs. disembodiment.
But it takes two to tango so take a partner by the hand, put your best foot forward, and quick step to the Hayward Gallery as soon as you can.
