Work/Travail/Arbeid
What would it mean for choreography to perform as an exhibition? That is the question at the origin of Work/Travail/Arbeid, a newly commissioned project by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. In response, the legendary Belgian dancer-choreographer takes her stage piece Vortex Temporum, choreographed to the eponymous music of composer Gérard Grisey, and reimagines it for the radically different temporal, spatial, and perceptual conditions of an art space. Rather than simply bringing a dance performance into a different space, De Keersmaeker reimagines and recasts the choreography as a nine-week-long exhibition. The result is a project that transforms the very material and conditions that have long b...

Einstein en Elisabeth
Hij was een wereldberoemde wetenschapper die de Nobelprijs voor Natuurkunde won dankzij zijn relativiteitstheorie. Zij was een nichtje van de sprookjesachtige Oostenrijkse keizerin Sissi en zelf koningin van een klein landje, België. Hij shockeerde de wereld met zijn protest tegen de atoombom, die zonder zijn baanbrekend wetenschappelijk onderzoek niet had kunnen gemaakt worden. Zij shockeerde de wereld met haar bezoeken aan communistisch China en de Sovjet-Unie tijdens de Koude Oorlog. In turbulente tijden, getekend door economische crisis en oorlog, vonden Albert Einstein en koningin Elisabeth elkaar. Twee excentriekelingen maar vooral twee verwante zielen die een passie deelden voor muzi...
Albert Einstein und Elisabeth von Belgien
Er war ein Genie und Nobelpreisträger für seine Verdienste um die theoretische Physik. Sie, eine geborene Wittelsbacherin, war Königin von Belgien. Er war Jude, Emigrant und glühender Pazifist. Sie war Kunstliebhaberin, Mäzenin und sorgende Landesmutter. Zwischen Albert Einstein (1879–1955) und Elisabeth von Belgien (1876–1965) entwickelte sich jenseits aller Konvention in gemeinsamer Freude an Musik und Musizieren eine tiefe Freundschaft. Diese blieb auch bestehen, als Einstein 1933 in die USA emigrierte und nie mehr nach Europa zurückkehrte. Der Briefwechsel der beiden ist Zeugnis einer turbulenten Zeit – Drittes Reich, Zweiter Weltkrieg, Nachkriegszeit, Kalter Krieg – und Brücke zwischen dem "verrückten Genie" und der "Roten" Königin. Eindrucksvoll beschreibt die Autorin zwei Lebensläufe im Kontext der Geschehniss in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Sculpture Undone, 1955-1972
"A sculptor who began working during the postwar period in a classical figurative style, Alina Szapocznikow radically reconceptualized sculpture as an imprint not only of memory but also of her own body. Though her career effectively spanned less than two decades (cut short by the artist's premature death in 1973 at age 47), Szapocznikow left behind a legacy of provocative objects that evoke Surrealism, Nouveau Râealisme, and Pop art. Her tinted polyester casts of body parts, often transformed into everyday objects like lamps or ashtrays; her poured polyurethane forms; and her elaborately constructed sculptures, which at times incorporated photographs, clothing, or car parts, all remain as ...
The Universal Addressability of Dumb Things
Turner Prize-winner artist Mark Leckey, presents the latest in the Hayward Touring celebrated series of artist-curated exhibitions.The Universal Addressability of Dumb Things explores the tenuous boundaries between the virtual and the real, between the 'dumb' and the animate. As modern technology becomes ever more sophisticated and pervasive, objects appear to communicate with us: phones talk back, refrigerators suggest recipes and websites seem to anticipate our desires.Through a conceptual assemblage of archaeological artifacts, contemporary artworks and visionary machines, Leckey proposes an exemplary network of objects – an 'Internet of Things' – all communicating, talking away to on...
