Chalk Out is a part of creative process and rehearsals for PLAY, collaborative program in Kaunas Art Biennial Textile 11 and International dance festival AURA 21. After months of virtual discussions artists are meeting in Berlin to rehearse the sketches where visuals meets the body.
------
Chalk Out is centered around the notion of time. From this theme arises a cluster of questions that informs the work:
- Can performance be an experience by proxy, where the performers are vehicles and transmitters of direct, embodied, non-verbal experiences?
- How does repetitive actions influence perception of time? Quoting Deleuze: “The one substance is always-differentiating process, an origami cosmos, always folding, unfolding, refolding. Theory of bakers' transformation: kneading the dough (bending, and rebending), it improves the quality of the dough by getting fresh air inside, it becomes more fluffy, softer and lighter.”
About Inga Liksaite: textile designer and visual artist. In her creative practice, Inga takes images from her previous works and remakes them. Every object has prototype and becomes a prototype for the next one, therefore time consuming processes are inevitable in her stitched work. Recently she had her solo exibition in gallery Hoffman&Weiss. She also collaborates with animation artist Claudia Rohrmoser. Their skills and ideas converge in the projects, where stitches go moving or moving pictures are captured by a needle.
