Káradóttir *Nominated as “Best
Exhibition of the Year” by Art in Culture
in 2014 As
Coreana Museum of Art has come to its 10th Anniversary, Performing Film is the first
international exhibition of the year to celebrate the occasion. This is an
exhibition of moving images presented various kinds of body movements including
performance, drama, and dance. It presents 14 pieces of video arts from 11
artists including video performances orienting towards artist’s body,
collaborative works between a visual artist and a choreographer and dance
films. In this exhibition, it is intended to draw an attention to the aesthetic
relevance of moving image and performance, and the meaning of the performative
body interacted with contemporary culture and society. Distinction
among performance, dance, and theater is of no significance in the exhibition Performing Film. The three genres can be
comprehensively interpreted in terms of the visual language of gestures,
anchored to the historical and present fact that performance and dance have
taken significant positions in avant-garde art through their integration. The
orientation of the exhibition concerns how body language with non-materiality
integrating performance, dance, and play expands our perception in connection
with moving images, and how this can infiltrate our bodies and lives as a
language of freedom and emancipation. Through this, the exhibition focuses on
the aesthetic relationship between performance and the moving image as well as
the meaning of the performative body that interacts with contemporary social
culture. Hosted
