SUCHAN KINOSHITA

episode 3: Light Conversations - screening and installation. In her project for If I Can't Dance..., Suchan Kinoshita will throw certain 'roles' of director, viewer and performer into play. Through staged choreographies she will think about the institutions' role as an art centre and as a public space. A space in which visitors can enact different roles through 'detours' proposed by the artist.

Within the spectrum of the roles of spectatorship, represented by the extremes of either distant inquiry or vital embodiment, Kinoshita aims to activate different 'registers' For Project Arts Centre Kinoshita will create 'Light Conversations' – a piece for voice and light. In this installation, the viewer/listener is invited to actively interpret the interplay between light and language, respond to his or her visual and auditory experience.

This piece will form the prologue of a newly developed installation that will be shown in the Gallery on June 11, 12 and 13 and will depart from existing light plans used for theatre, transforming the white cube into a stage for new situations and encounters.

EPISODE 1, EXHIBITION: Detour for an audience, two disco balls, two curtains, rear windows, a physiotherapist, a psychiatrist and a dressing table - installation. 'Performance' is a broadly defined concept, employed differently in various contexts. The term is related to acting and the stage, but also denotes a particular form of visual art in which body and space unite in a suitable space: a 'white cube', a public space, etc. Moreover, performance is connected to a capitalist vocabulary in the sense of functioning, as well as to a social and emancipatory terminology, in which it relates to 'agency' and 'empowerment'. In her practice, Suchan Kinoshita unites the syntax of performance in the visual arts to the language of performance in everyday life.
