Two times after Mladen Stilinović, 2017
Manuel Pelmuş
Untimely
Kontakt Collection with support of: OCA (Office for Contemporary Art Norway)
Manuel Pelmuş (1974, București / RO) works as artist and choreographer and is one of the protagonists of the “new performance turn” who have been reimagining the role of performance in the context of visual arts. Pelmuş often uses live presence as a continuous action inside the context of exhibitions. The artist works with enactment as a strategy and the human body as a medium and is interested in its relationship to memory and the construction of history, which he transfers to the living body.
AER, 2024
Manuel Pelmuş & Anton Skaaning Thomsen
Untimely
Kontakt Collection with support of: OCA (Office for Contemporary Art Norway)
AER functions as a lexicon of gestures assembled by moving between selected references from the two collections (KONTAKT & CNAP) and improvised material, through the performer’s personal movement history. AER is interested in the idea of intergenerational modes of memory transmission.
