Fokus Tour: Der dreidimensionale Körper

Location: KW Institute for Contemporary Art, meeting point at the counter
Registration via mediation@kw-berlin.de
Participation included in exhibition ticket. Limited number of participants.

Visitors are invited to participate in a guided movement workshop focusing on Kazuko Miyamoto's String Constructions. The workshop will be led by KW mediator Kerri Fitzsimons together with her guest Sarah Butler.

The program consists of two parts: First, visitors will be guided through the exhibition spaces and learn about Miyamoto's works. The second part takes place in the mediation room. It is a workshop in which the exhibition is explored through movement to enable a more personal, embodied response to the exhibition.

Repeatable but unique gestures form the complex shapes of Miyamoto's sculptures, drawing on notions of collectivity, aliveness and temporality. The body is a repository of repeated gestures with infinite paths and patterns of movement: the workshop focuses on finding presence in space and the collective experience.

Kerri Fitzsimons is a Berlin-based performance artist, educator and yoga teacher. She believes that through friendly mediation that prioritizes personal interpretation, we can challenge exclusivity in art and offer accessible creative spaces. Her performance work is story-based, using narrative to create pieces that are both aesthetically surprising and accessible through storytelling.

Sarah Gordon Butler loves to create things. She works with movement, theater, film, wearable structures, embroidery and vocal harmonies and is interested in how weaving together seemingly disparate mediums can result in something surprising and honest.
