Choreography as Curation as Hosting: Relational complexities and modes of production in an expanded field of practice

这个实践研究（PaR）博士将调查编舞作为策展主持实践的可能性和风险。它批判性地回应了英国编舞家最近的一波项目，这些项目委托并融合了其他艺术家的作品（例如Siobhan Davies的展览“材料/重排/ to /be”，2017）。我使用“托管”的概念来突出这些编舞策展作品所特有的关系复杂性和生产模式。通过与国际知名的舞蹈家萨德勒的威尔斯剧院（SWT）合作，我将直接探讨这些新兴的做法如何规避和改变机构的权力关系和策展过程。这个PaR过程将开发一个广泛的工作室实践，直接实验的材料和过程的编舞策展主办。它将通过“集体研究”（Harney & Moten）和“不可否认的道德”（Tuck & Yang）来开发个人创作的艺术品，并由受邀合作者进行实践。该项目将在SWT，罗汉普顿大学和机构外的背景下进行，该项目将解决托管的潜力，以挑战和创新英国舞蹈的不同经济体的生产模式，以及它们各自的系统性排斥和殖民暴力的遗产（Bhambra）。该博士将在“扩展编舞”的新兴领域内开发编舞-策展托管的跨学科研究框架（MACBA，2012年），其中编舞需要一个通用的能力，分析和生产旁边和超越舞蹈。它将介绍这一领域-并阐述编舞的潜力，以振兴-关键的辩论，从制度批判（布伦，威尔逊）对艺术家，策展人，机构的关系。该项目将借鉴大陆哲学（德里达）和酷儿理论（Halbestram），以语境化“好客”，“托管”和“野性”的概念;批判理论（Harney & Moten）和酷儿写作（米切尔）关于“剥夺”和“逃亡”;女权主义者（弗里曼）和社会学研究（布迪厄），以解决同行组织的权力关系，实验艺术的独特经济。

This practice-as-research (PaR) PhD will investigate the possibilities and risks of choreography as a curatorial-hosting practice. It critically responds to a recent wave of projects by UK choreographers that commission and incorporate works authored by other artists (e.g. Siobhan Davies' exhibition 'material / rearranged / to / be', 2017). I use the concept of 'hosting' to foreground the relational complexities and modes of production unique to these choreographic-curatorial works. By collaborating with the internationally acclaimed dance house Sadler's Wells Theatre (SWT), I will directly explore how these emergent practices might circumvent and transform institutional power relations and curatorial processes. This PaR process will develop an extensive studio practice that directly experiments with the materials and processes of choreographic-curatorial hosting. It will develop solo-authored artworks, and host practice by invited collaborators, through 'collective study' (Harney & Moten) and an 'ethics of incommensurability' (Tuck & Yang). Taking place in SWT, University of Roehampton and extra-institutional contexts, this project will address the potentials of hosting to challenge and innovate production models across the diverse economies of UK dance, and their respective legacies of systemic exclusion and colonial violence (Bhambra).This PhD will develop this interdisciplinary research framework of choreographic-curatorial hosting within the emerging field of 'expanded choreography' (MACBA, 2012), where choreography takes on a generic capacity for analysis and production alongside and beyond dance. It will introduce to this field - and elaborate choreography's potential to revitalize - key debates from Institutional Critique (Buren, Wilson) on artist-curator-institution relations. The project will draw from continental philosophy (Derrida) and queer theory (Halbestram) to contextualise notions of 'hospitality', 'hosting' and the 'feral'; critical theory (Harney & Moten) and queer writing (Mitchell) on 'dispossession' and 'fugitivity'; and feminist (Freeman) and sociological research (Bourdieu) to address the power relations of peer-organising, within the unique economies of experimental art.
