Gérald Kurdian
What if all the living things were sisters?*
Gérald Kurdian in his own words: Gérald Kurdian (1980, lives and works between Paris and Brussels) studied visual arts at the ENSA Paris-Cergy before entering the performance and contemporary dance program Ex.e.r.ce 07 under the direction of Mathilde Monnier and Xavier Le Roy. His oblique concerts inspired by the genres of stand-up comedy, live musical or pop acts are opportunities to invent synergies between electronic music, performance art and documentary practices. They are regularly presented in the contexts of visual arts (Centre Pompidou-Metz, Fondation Cartier, etc.), indie music (Centquatre, Nouveau Casino), or performing arts (Usine C, Crossing the Line, Steirischer Herbst, Kunstenfestivaldesarts, etc.). He has also composed radio-pieces with sex workers and music for movies and theater. Now, he develops HOT BODIES OF THE FUTURE !, a performative and musical research cycle on alternative forms of sexualities and queer micro-politics within which he initiates experimental queer healing choir projects and a brand new music project: TAREK X.
