Um…Crits is an interdisciplinary forum around ongoing artistic research in its broadest sense, often with invited guests. For this session we have invited Carla Collevecchio, lecture at Umeå School of Architecture
The SVP project Performative Bodies investigates the role of the moving body as a critical mediator in the synthesis of the arts. Through rigorous archival research, it constructs a transhistorical web of interconnected events, mapping ideas, fragments, individuals, movements, theories, and documents that have traversed time and space. This process not only flattens historical narratives but also uncovers new associations when viewed through a contemporary lens. Building upon this mapped network, a selection of these fragments is recontextualized and layered into a performative experiment. A series of rehearsals will explore the emergence of a novel, transdisciplinary methodology, retracing the intersections of the arts through the body as a situated, spatial, and material event.
