Many performances presented at Kapelica Gallery have left a profound impact on visitors, as their artistic potency pushed the boundaries of the perceivable. Their unrepeatability leaves behind a tangible void and a commitment to historicize these extraordinary events. Attempts to capture the structure of the environment that provided the context for these amazing artworks often elude video documentation, and are entirely absent in the case of reenactments.
In order to offer the most authentic experience of the performance as artwork, Kapelica Gallery curators are developing a presentation method that includes forensic remnants, video and photo documentation, and the performative experience of personal storytelling within the intimate setting of the exhibition set at Kapelica Gallery during the TTT conference.
A restricted number of time slots are available. A precise schedule is still to be announced.
