1Day Salon Event "At the still point of the turning world..."

"At the still point of the turning world..."
- a salon event curated by Gina Buenfeld (Camden Arts Centre, London)
Saturday 21st February, 2015
Time: 15:30 - 21:00 (Doors open at 15:00)
Venue: SHIBAURA HOUSE (Tokyo)
For this two-part salon event, curator-in-residence Gina Buenfeld (Camden Arts Centre,
London) will present a programme of live performance, screenings of artists' film, encounters
with sound and objects with open discussion in the incomparable setting of SHIBAURA
HOUSE, designed by Kazuyo Sejima & Associates. As a project that emerged from Buenfeld's
curatorial residency with AIT last year, and her ongoing research, "At the still point of the
turning world..." is a selection of works that proposes questions about sculptural and dynamic
form with a particular focus on dance and ceramics - two craft traditions with a strong
historical and contemporary presence in Japan. Drawing out the tensions between seemingly
inanimate objects and fugitive yet perpetually reiterated movement, the event proposes
questions about form and the varied ways in which its characteristics prevail as they are reexpressed
and re-created.
Divided into two acts whose atmospheres are inspired by Noh and Butoh, the event will feature
video works by international artists: Manon de Boer; Trisha Brown | Babette Mangolte; Jefford
Horrigan; Joachim Koester; Simon Martin; Ursula Mayer; Jeremy Millar; Fernanda Muñoz
Newsome and Ina Dokmo; Hiraki Sawa; Sriwhana Spong; a live performance by Mildred
Rambaud who will be in Japan especially for this event; and contributions from AIT artists-inresidence
Jesse Wine and Caroline Achaintre, who will be based in Tokyo for two months commencing in late January.
