DIALOGICAL PERFORMANCES
As part of the exhibition The Atlas a two-day program titled Dialogical Performances will precede the official exhibition opening.
The Atlas creates dialogical communication channels by facilitating and experimenting with the findings and outcome of the research process. This time artists and musicians will play an important role: by using panels in four chapters, the amalgamation of various techniques and approaches from the fields of contemporary art and concert music will be experimented, questioned, modified, and discussed with them.
There will be two panels and they will function as laboratories for collaborative performative experiments, based on dialogical practices. Each chapter consists of the Agents, musicians, and artists, with the audience actively encouraged to take part. Everything will be recorded and their outcome will be observed, processed, and then be located in the Atlas Online database. The architecture of the online platform will enable its users to access the documentation and the interpretation of these performances from different perspectives of these two disciplines.
Dialogical Performances will merge the concert musical/sound performances and visual art exhibitions/presentations along with panels, workshops, lecture-performances, and performances.
