DESCRIPTION

A lecture on the history, theory, and practice of city interventions.

Many different kinds of art exist: street art, public art, site-specific art, urbanism, parkour, situationism. What do they have in common and what do they have to do with contemporary dance? When and why has art started to leave galleries and theaters? These are the questions artist Alexandra Portyannikova will discuss in her lecture, drawing on her own experience of dance interventions (such as the Laminaria Flow group performances in the city).
