Museum der Repliken 2
Performance by July Weber
In the frame of Open Spaces#1-2015
In the Museum of Replicas Julian Weber copies works of art and confronts minimalism with searching bodies. In round two he follows up his examination in institutes for visual and performative arts with their correspondingly conventional presentation formats. An exhibition on stage asks us: how should we regard objects and bodies, what effect has the translation on the results of the work, and where can autonomy arise in the jungle of references?
Choreofraphy/ Dance: Julian Weber; Creation/ Dance: Timo Müller, Jefferson Arcer, Zack Bernstein, Stuart Meyers, Gerard Reyes; Music: Tarren Johnson; Light: Annegret Schalke. A project by Julian Weber in cooperation with Tanzfabrik Berlin.
