Sculpture Park

Sculpture Park

Friday 7. – Sunday 9. January 2019, 10:00 – 14:00

A three-day workshop by BBB Johannes Deimling, the founder (2008) and artistic director of PAS - Performance Art Studies.

In the three-day workshop we will research and experiment with the idea of sculpture as a source for performance concepts and ideas. Still-Life Performance, Slowmotion Performance, Endurance Performance, Sculpture Performances are terms which will lead us into a field where we try to condense artistic ideas into one performance image, situation or moment. What is needed and important to make a performative sculpture and where are the possibilities and challenges are questions which we will address in the workshop time. How does space, material, time and as well action generate and condense a vivid artistic idea into one performance images, one performance moment? And how we can make use from the knowledge from Greek sculpture to contemporary positions? We will experiment with time and materials and see how far we can bring the idea of sculpture into performance art practice.

At the end of this research we will present the performance sculptures in a public event in the frames of “Carbonarium” International performance art festival called “Sculpture Park” in which the audience is free to roam in space and discover the processes of the different sculptures. We will finish the workshop with a reflection.
