Annie Vigier & Franck Apertet "Presence"
WHITE BOX
This event has ended.
Presence is our impromptu response to an invitation we received from White Box just as we were planning a trip to New York and scheduling meetings with certain professionals during Performa '11. On the occasion of our debut performance in the United States, we have decided to carry out our appointments in the presence of all gallery visitors during the operating hours of White Box's exhibition space.
In Presence, we are transmitting the specific contexts that define our invitation in order to expose the cultural underpinnings and the specific logic that presuppose public access to our work. We would like to present ourselves in conversation with other professionals as one phase of our work, which makes explicit the context that conditioned our arrival.

Annie Vigier & Franck Apertet (les gens d’Uterpan) examine the norms that define dance and the live arts. By appearing in different frameworks that reveal the action of the body, or by adapting to them, they provoke the conditions for a new reflection on the different methods of representation, production and interpretation of performance.
Their performances have been presented at: the Project Arts Centre, Dublin; the Tate Modern, London; the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London; the Kunsthalle, Basel; the VI Cali performance Festival; the Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw; the Kunsthaus Graz-Museum, Joanneum; the Berlin Biennale for contemporary art, 2008 and 2010; the Nam June Paik Art Center, Seoul; among other places…
