fig-2 25/50 Cecilia Bengolea, Celia Hempton and Prem Sahib

23 Jun-28 Jun 2015

Overview

Marking the halfway point of the fig-2 programme, choreographer and dancer Cecilia Bengolea and artists Celia Hempton and Prem Sahib are invited to collaborate for a new commission. Drawing influences from construction sites and the potential for gendered and material conflicts within them, Hempton, Sahib and Bengolea compose a setting and soundscape that is accelerated by Bengolea’s activation of Bydlo Moussorgski’s post industrial choreography from 1945. Charged by their interest in modes of sexuality and trespass, the exhibition reflects upon the role of the individual within a semi-constructed built environment. The exhibition will hold two dance performances, on Monday evening at the opening and on Thursday evening.
