Art in a Day: Tosh Basco & Wu Tsang “Moved by the Motion”

Date

Friday 24th of June 2022

Time

19:00 to 19:45

Price

Free

Den 24. juni forvandler Københavns seks kunsthaller i et døgn byen til en scene for performancekunsten, når Art in a Day løber af stablen med et summende program af gratis kunstoplevelser. Det stjernespækkede program byder på internationale og danske kunstnere, som blandt andet tæller en performance af Tosh Basco og Wu Tsang.

Moved by the Motion er en performance, der har rødder i det 8-år lange samarbejde mellem Tosh Basco og Wu Tsang. De to kunstnere opfører en performance, der fungerer som en poetisk opfordring og respons mellem bevægelse, sprog og historiefortælling. Med udgangspunkt i Basco og Tsangs respektive praksisser, henholdsvis improvisatorisk dans og vokal performance, antager deres vedvarende samtale karakter af et surrealistisk ‘udsøgt lig’, når hver enkelt artikulation (og det modsatte) reagerer på og supplerer hinanden.

Til Art in a Day fører denne stedsspecifikke performance deres fokus i retning af emner som ensomhed og forbundethed, og publikum inviteres ind i et intimt rum, hvor formens bevægelser fuldender, hvad der forbliver uforståeligt i sproget.

Det er gratis at deltage. Kun adgang med forudbestilte billetter.

On 24 June, Copenhagen’s six contemporary art institutions are turning the city into a stage for performance art when Art in a Day kicks off with a programme buzzing with free art experiences. The star-studded programme features international and Danish artists, including a performance by Tosh Basco and Wu Tsang.

Moved by the Motion is a performance rooted in the eight-year collaboration between Tosh Basco and Wu Tsang. The two artists stage a performance that works as a poetic call and response between movement, language, and storytelling. Situated within Basco and Tsang’s respective practices of improvised dance and vocal performance, their ongoing conversation takes the form of a surrealist ‘exquisite corpse’, as each articulation (and disarticulation) responds to and elaborates on the other.

For Art in a Day, this site-specific performance brings their concentration to themes of solitude and connectedness, inviting the audience into a space of intimacy where movement of form completes what remains impenetrable in language.

It is free to participate. Access with pre-booked tickets only.
