MAN MUSS DAS LEBEN TANZEN

ART. BODY. DANCE. INTERRELATION

AKADEMIE DER WISSENSCHAFTEN UND DER LITERATUR(ACADEMY OF SCIENCES AND LITERATURE) 

MAINZ, GERMANY

30.8.2018 - 23.1.2019

The exhibition shows a wide range of artistic works that deal with the topic of dance in different ways. Artists from all over Europe are represented, who have developed different forms of expression through live performance, film, drawing, sculpture, wood printing and photography and who thereby interact with other art forms. The individual interpretations of the exhibition's theme open up a perspective on the diverse aesthetics and perspectives of the contemporary art scene.

The project is initiated and curated by Manfred Geis, member of the Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament (who initiated the exhibition series ›Art in the Parliament’s Office‹ and has initiated and supervised almost 100 exhibitions to date), and Elisabeth Schilling, a native of Rhineland-Palatinate, internationally working dancer and choreographer.

Until the end of the year, symposia and workshops on the subject of “dance” will be held to accompany the exhibition.
