Description

In “constructing ruins“ Julian Weber interlaces exhibition and stage formats. He works in dialogue with the musician Tarren Johnson on expansive sculptures related to architecture, which in their fragile, sketchy nature provide the friction surfaces on which the transitory power of dance can manifest itself. Functional and searching bodies encounter the sculptures which collapse uncontrollably: this activates interventions in the choreographic settings and leads to a mutual shaping of material and bodies.

Biographies

July Weber

July Weber (alle Pronomen) is a choreographer, performer, curator, and sculptor. Working at the intersection of choreography and visual art, July explores interactions between body, material, and movement, informed by new materialist approaches and the deconstruction of power relations between human and non-human agents. Collision functions as a central principle—both as a moment of intense encounter and as an overlap of bodies, practices, and disciplines. July presents work internationally, has received awards including the Berlin Art Prize, was invited to Tanzplattform, and founded NEW FEARS, an award-winning gallery for transdisciplinarity.
