PERFORMANCE ⎜ L’objet invisible à la Fondation Maeght

Internationalement reconnus pour leurs liens avec l’architecture moderne et leur pratique à l’intersection de la danse, du film et des arts visuels, Gerard & Kelly, dans cette performance conçue in situ, donnent à voir la Fondation Maeght à travers différents regards.

« L’objet invisible » propose de redécouvrir le site de la première fondation d’art moderne et contemporain en France. Dans cette performance déambulatoire pour trois danseur·euse·s et un guitariste, Gerard & Kelly utilisent l’architecture originale de Josep Lluís Sert et l’extension récemment réalisée par Silvio d’Ascia comme une partition pour susciter des rencontres intimes et inattendues et offrir un dispositif cinématographique pour regarder l’invisible.

PERFORMANCE | L’objet invisible at Fondation Maeght

Internationally recognized artists known for their engagement with modern architecture and their work at the intersection of dance, film and visual art, Gerard & Kelly reflect and refract the Fondation Maeght through shifting frames in their new site-specific project.

“L’objet invisible” proposes these multiple frames, often simultaneously, for re-discovering the first foundation of modern and contemporary art in France. In this ambulatory performance for three dancers and a guitarist, Gerard & Kelly use Josep Lluís Sert’s original architecture and the newly completed extension by Silvio d’Ascia as a score for intimate and unexpected encounters, a cinematic device for viewing the invisible.

B EST OF 2023 in THE NEW YORK TIMES [link in bio]

While visiting Paris this summer on vacation, I impulsively went to a staged performance of Julius Eastman’s “Gay Guerrilla,” a work of barbed drive and insistent beauty, conceived and choreographed by Gerard & Kelly in a ground-floor gallery of the Pompidou Center. Outside the museum, the bass-baritone Davóne Tines began by singing Eastman’s Prelude to “The Holy Presence of Joan d’Arc” with a hellfire intensity that confused and fascinated passers-by, before coming inside for an account of “Gay Guerrilla” that included members of the Paris Opera Ballet and Soa de Muse, a drag performer of titanic presence. Theatrical, q***r, combative, true to Eastman, it was not only a life-affirming jolt, but also a vision for new ways to present this composer’s music. —Joshua Barone () in

REVERBS : Interactions to relate to one another (2014)

Graphite on paper, two sheets
10 x 8 inches each

Exhibited as part of our show P.O.L.E. (People, Objects, Language, Exchange) at the New Museum, Oct 8, 2014 - Jan 25, 2015, curated by Johanna Burton.

P.O.L.E. (People, Objects, Language, Exchange), utilizes the Fifth Floor gallery as a space for fieldwork, movement practice, and interactive research around the topic of “choreography,” investigating its role in relationships and cultural transmission via sculptural installations, performances, public programs, and workshops. Resources expand and evolve during the course of the artists’ six-month residency at the Museum and include, among other tools, practice poles for dancing and, occasionally, practical skilling by the artists, their collaborators, and the public. In Reverbs: interactions for one another, Gerard & Kelly rewrite Richard Serra’s 1967 Verb list with a set of actions directly related to their collaborative, movement-based practice investigating the critical potential of intimacy.

***END OF SEASON***delights. Collaboration is ceaseless (un)becoming; tangling and untangling toward infinity. It’s a team sport. No stars. We are thrilled to shoulder the tri-stripes who supported our projects this season. It takes a village to make public art and we appreciate the lift. 💘
