Part of Jumping Frames Hong Kong International Movement Image Festival 2023
Co-presented by CCDC and Tomorrow Maybe, Eaton HK
13.09 - 06.10.2023
Initiated in 2021 as an exhibition sidebar of ‘Jumping Frames’, ’Expanded Space’ is a proposition to explore new possibilities of presenting movement/images beyond traditional screen-based cinematic formats. Aiming to instigate a multi-layer dialogue between different artistic practices and domains under the auspice of an interdisciplinary film festival, ‘Expanded Space’ reflects the festival commitment to probe at the intersections between performance and the moving image, cine-choreographies, and the body.
Over the years, ’Expanded Space’ has hosted a diverse collection of sound, object and media installation works that transmitted and transmuted filmic gestures and narratives into the spatially demanding gallery presentation. Extending its inquiry transversally, it has also included sculptural and kinetic installation works that questioned what constitutes the performative impulse and bridging the divide between movement- and image-making.
For ‘Expanded Space 2023’: (RE)PLAY, the exhibition will examine the archival strategies, considerations, and formats of two seminal artists working across the valencies of performance-making: Melati Suryodarmo, an Indonesian performance artist known for her durational and physically demanding performances; and Xavier Le Roy, a choreographer and dancer often associated with the development of the notion of expanded choreography that started in Europe at the end of the 90’s.
Each artist will present a lecture performance, UNPACKED No. 1: Love (2023) by Suryodarmo and Product of Other Circumstances (2009) by Le Roy, – that draws on the ‘Jumping Frames 2023’ themes of re-enactment and archival (re)construction. Emphasising their methodologies in archiving works, the audience is invited to re-imagine scenes and essences of their practice through objects, videos and still images.
「擴展的空間」乃「跳格」自2021 年起從電影院延伸至展覽空間的單元, 引發不同藝術實踐和領域之間的多重對話。「跳格」透過跨領域形態來探索超越傳統影像的呈現方式, 以及尋索表演與流動影像、電影編舞和身體之間的交匯點。「擴展的空間」過去曾展出一系列將影像形式和敘事轉化成於空間呈現的聲音、物件、媒體和動態等裝置作品, 並詰問構成展演的動力, 也結合了律動和影像製作之間的異流。
本年度展覽名為《重(構)/ 再(演)》,嘗試讓兩位跨表演創作領域的前衛藝術家—印尼行為藝術家Melati Suryodarmo及法國編舞家兼舞者Xavier Le Roy 併發火花, 探索他們的現場表演、記錄策略與形式。前者以長時及極耗費體力的表演著稱,後者則為90 年代末始於歐洲的非傳統「編舞伸延概念」推動及發展的重要人物。
二人回應本年度「跳格」的重演和檔案重建的主題, 分別為香港觀眾呈現一場講座式展演—Suryodarmo 的《拆開 1:愛》(2023) 和Le Roy 的《情境的其他產物 (2009)》。兩個展演將著重於強調他們在作品存檔的方法論, 觀眾將被邀請通過物件和影像等重新形塑藝術家的實踐場景與本質。
