New exhibition featuring dance at Rugby Art Gallery & Museum




New exhibition premieres dance works featuring Guillem, Forsythe and De Keersmaeker

From the Inside: performance, screen and the gallery space at Rugby Art Gallery & Museum is open now and runs until 31 October 2010.

The exhibition includes works by Peter Welz & William Forsythe, Thierry De Mey and Anna Teresa De Keersmaeker, Clemens von Wedemeyer, Jonathan Burrows, Sylvie Guillem and Adam Roberts and Ulrike Rosenbach. Additionally the film, Jackson Pollock, 1951 by Hans Namuth and Paul Falkenberg is available in an education space. The film has been made available courtesy of Concord Media. It includes the first exhibition of Peter Welz and William Forsythe’s work whenever on on on nohow on airdrawing, 2004, as an "in the round" installation. Installed on five huge screens, the life-size projections of Forsythe, fully immerse the viewer in the work, unsettling the space shared by both Forsythe’s body and the audience/viewer. It is also be the first time that the Guillem /Burrows/ Roberts film Blue/Yellow, 1995, has been exhibited as an installation. Installed in this way Guillem’s performance delivers powerful readings about ‘presence’.

Through a pairing device, this exhibition explores how time, screen space and installation space are examined and experienced in differing ways through installation works which use moving image with dance and performance emanating from different disciplines and languages. It foregrounds the dialogue created between the space and the viewer, and the physical relationship between movement, language, image, frame and space in works emanating from both the performing and the visual arts. The exhibition is curated by Portland Green.

Admission is free of charge. For further information, contact Rugby Art Gallery & Museum on (01788) 533 201 or ragm@rugby.gov.uk. Alternatively, visit www.ragm.org.uk/exhibitions or http://www.portlandgreen.com/fromtheinside.html
