Raisins in the Audience Dough: Second Movement
20 to 23 Jan, 10am to 7pm
Presented in conjunction with National Gallery Singapore’s latest special exhibition 𝘕𝘢𝘮 𝘑𝘶𝘯𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘪𝘬: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘕𝘰𝘸, the second movement of this three-part project will see artists Lynn Lu and Melinda Lauw present a participatory in situ performance within the Gallery’s public spaces.
56 participants will be guided, one at a time, through a bespoke series of sequences designed by the artists. This movement draws from scores Paik wrote specifically for long-time collaborator Charlotte Moorman, Moorman and Paik's shared interest in inclusivity and engaging their audiences’ active participation, Paik’s prophetic conflations of tech and the body, including the mediation of intimacy through tech, and Paik’s signature “salt and pepper” strategy of injecting a surprise into what would otherwise be banal.
Registration closes on 2 Jan 2022 and selected participants will be notified by 4 Jan 2022.
This programme is recommended for participants aged 16 and above.
