An Object Lights an Object; Shedding Light on Frames, Objects, Curation and Creation

Table
Language: English
Host: Yair Vardi (Curator, Tmu-na theater)

How does the perception of light and lighting effect curatorial and artistic authorship? In this meeting I would like to talk about my curatorial agenda in the Tmu-na theater in TLV Israel and the ways it is intertwined and shaped by my practice as a designer and performance artist. My main argument is that curating as a means to generate discourse is an artistic tool for both directing festivals and for art-making. Furthermore, I will be reflecting on the political situation in Israel and on the reality of life and performance in a perpetual conflict zone.

Kamome Machine performed Waiting for Godot on a street in Hirono-machi, Futaba-gun, Fukushima Prefecture in August 2011. There was one audience, and the three performers stood still on a national road that was 20 kilometers from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Why did we have to perform this piece there? What did we think of through the performance? And what kind of works have we created since then? We look forward to participation of people who are interested in the relationship between the Great East Japan Earthquake and theatre.
