Forum Dans #4: Anders Paulin in conversation with Bojana Cvejić

Anders Paulin will in conversation with Bojana Cvejić discuss some of the basic concepts of the publication Twin Figure of Mimesis and how they are applied in his practical work.

Twin Figure of Mimesis
How can we approach the art object as an autonomous thing; not a mere copy of the world, but an object existing on its own conditions? Is there agency without subject/object relations? And what language and strategies of mediation would be relevant in this context?
In the publication Twin Figure of Mimesis Anders Paulin makes a scripted journey through the landscape of performative mimetics. Written as a double bill, where the collection of essays meets a scripted version of a performative work, the book aims to discuss and problematize a platonic paradigm in performing arts, organizing the world into true and false, original and copy. Opposed to this, the texts address various alternative concepts of mimesis. The collection of essays is written in dialogue with Bojana Cvejić, Benjamin Noys, Goran Sergej Pristaš, Peggy Phelan and Austin Gross and is released by Skogen Community Press, Gothenburg.

Anders Paulin will in conversation with Bojana Cvejić discuss some of the basic concepts of the publication and how they are applied in his practical work. The event is an extension of a workshop Paulin and Cvejić are holding for the MA students in dance.

The event will be held in English.
