The Untitled Still Life Collection

Tension

Choreographer Trajal Harrell and sculptor Sarah Sze experiment together, he with movement and she with materials. This tension between performers, materials and space is the essence of The Untitled Still Life Collection. The stage setting is not a 'backdrop' for the dance, but the sculptural and choreographic elements interact and transform one another, thus generating new and unimagined possibilities.

• The New York dancer and choreographer Trajal Harrell has been an artist in residence at Workspacebrussels. This season we will also be presenting his (M) imosa - Twenty Looks or Paris is Burning at The Judson Church (M), which was also staged at the Avignon Festival. Sarah Sze will represent the US at the Venice Biennale in 2013.

Trajal Harrell is a New York City-based artist. His work has been presented In New York and the U.S. at many venues including The Kitchen, Dance Theater Workshop, P.S. 122, Art Basel Miami Beach, among others. Internationally, his work has toured in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Croatia, Portugal, and Mexico, and has been presented in international festivals such as Festival d’Avignon and Impulstanz-Vienna. Since 2001, he has been developing a body of work which links the parallel histories of the Voguing dance tradition and early Postmodern dance. He is best known for a series of works entitled Twenty Looks or Paris is Burning at The Judson Church.
