Museum der Repliken 2

Background

Annegret Schalke: I was not originally part of project Museum der Repliken 2 of Julian Weber, but since I had some free time and was eager to get my hands onto more LED lights at that time, I made myself available as an extra free collaborator and spend two weeks with the team in rehearsals, at the end of which were public presentations inside of a festival of Tanzfabrik Berlin. While the piece had been planned by Julian Weber without any specific lighting design, in a bright "gallery-like" space, I was therefore able to include some extras using a set of LED-PARs (RGBW).

The Piece

In the Museum of Replicas Julian Weber copies works of art and confronts minimalism with searching bodies. In round two he follows up his examination in institutes for visual and performative arts with their correspondingly conventional presentation formats. An exhibition on stage asks us: how should we regard objects and bodies, what effect has the translation on the results of the work, and where can autonomy arise in the jungle of references?
