Revolve closer

Revolve closer,  May 3rd – 4th 2019

Revolve closer is an invitation to encounter performance art close up. The festival presents artists and artistic processes that negotiate in different ways, their immediate surroundings, where materials like memories, movements, clay or fluids, are being investigated in relation to the subject, and where personal histories together make up the collective. Questions are raised about intimacy and its relation to the political, acknowledging our private bodies as part of larger collective bodies. Where does my own body end and society start? Where do they intertwine? In addition, each artist is invited to “zoom-in” on one aspect of their work in an artist talk or conversation, an opportunity both for the audience and the artists to get closer to the artistic processes and ideas behind the works.

All of the programme takes place at Uppsala Art Museum and is curated by Köttinspektionen Dans and Uppsala Art Museum. Curators: Rebecka Wigh Abrahamsson, Uppsala Art Museum, Kajsa Wadhia och Tove Salmgren, Köttinspektionen Dans.

Artists: Gregory Hari (CH), Moa Franzén (SE), Sara Gebran (VE/DK), Éva Mag (SE/RO), Mira Mutka (SE), Deva Schubert (DE), Andros Zins-Browne (US).

Curatorer: Rebecka Wigh Abrahamsson, Uppsala Art Museum, Kajsa Wadhia och Tove Salmgren, Köttinspektionen Dans.
