Description
The proposed project focuses on curatorial exchange in the field of performance art between the Y events curator collective, represented by Petr Dlouhý and Anna Chrtková, and the Norwegian curator Franziska Siegrist from the Performance Art Bergen.
One of the programme lines of the Theatre X10 in Prague, the Y events explore the boundaries of theatre and their intersections with the medium of performance, visual art and contemporary theory, as well as research on specific themes and audience participation. The core of Y events is synergistic events that connect artists across genres, emphasize the participation of the audience and explore established themes from different perspectives.
During the 2 years of its existence, the curator tandem has built up a distinctive practice that is quite unique in the Czech context. This practice is based on individual events that take place in both physical and online spaces and oscillate between theatrical performance and performance exhibition. Each event is preceded by curator research that enables a profound reflection of the subject matter.
This project includes 2 residencies for the curator team of Y events and the Performance Art Bergen team in the partner country. These residencies enable curator research on the art scene in the partner country, the development of the teams’ practice and the research of the topic of "shared environments" in collaboration with local theorists. The outcome of these residencies will be 3 events in Prague and Kutná Hora. The first event in Prague will take place in the presence of the Norwegian artists, the second in collaboration with a Norwegian curator. The third event will take place in Kutná Hora and will develop the practices included in the first two events.
The project will involve 11 Czech and 2 Norwegian artists, 2 Czech and 1 Norwegian curator and 1 Czech and 1 Norwegian theorist.
