DESCRIPTION:30-31st July, 19:00, Southbank Centre- Queen Elizabeth Hall
Untitled (Holding Horizon) is a choreography that continues Alex
Baczyński-Jenkins’ engagement with negotiations of desire, the
materiality of gestures and affections of a queer commons.
Through sensual, alienated gestures and the box step – a movement used in
several social dances – synchronisation, pleasure and alliance coexist
with disorientation, limitation and loss.
The performers affect – and become affected by – the live mixed sound
and light, while repetition and duration elicit shifting perceptions and
associations: a memory of a rave, a ghostly gathering, a celebration and
mourning, a militant congregation. In this altered state, the box step
becomes a vessel.
Untitled (Holding Horizon) is a durational experience. The audience is able
to enter and leave the space at their leisure.
Artist and choreographer Alex Baczyński-Jenkins’ practice is concerned
with the mediation of queer embodiment and relationality through
choreographies of affect, empathy and intimacy.
Originally commissioned for the 2018 Frieze Artist Award, in partnership
with Delfina Foundation, and presented as part of Frieze Projects, curated
by Diana Campbell Betancourt.
Developed as part of Kem’s residency at the Ujazdowski Castle Center for
Contemporary Art, Warsaw.
London presentations are generously supported by the Adam Mickiewicz
Institute and the Polish Cultural Institute.
