Course/Module description:
The course deals with site-specific theatrical performances, performance art, events and art projects that depend on space.
A site-specific project is usually created in a space that was not created for the purpose of hosting an art show or an artistic event. Site (and time) specific projects may respond to the characteristics and architectural conditions of the space, to its history, to its identity, to the practices that take place in it on a daily basis.
In the frame of the course we will learn about site-specific projects (theatrical performances, performance art, interventions, events) created in Israel and around the world and analyse them. We will deal with thinking about the performative space, define key concepts and deal with the aesthetic, political and theoretical meanings related to the specific projects, dealing as well with the independent artists or institutions that organize and finance them. We will deal with perceptions of space, body in space, collective and individual identity in relation to space.
In the frame of the course, we will read theoretical texts, watch documentation, we'll tour in different spaces and observe projects and even do a number of exercises that deal with the creation of site-specific projects.
* It is highly recommended that you also sign up for the "Site Specific Workshop" led by Ms. Emanuela Amichai.
