Guy Cools wrote at the end of the 1990s that choreography is “the art of translation”, indicating that it has a special function – it has the potential to “translate” a specific artistic identity into a universally understood body language. A cyclical project of the National Museum in Warsaw: “Performative Mediations”, in 2021 installment realized in cooperation with Art Stations Foundation in Poznań, introduces corporeality and movement into the space of the Museum. It is a mediation of the visual experience, customarily privileged in this space, and a proposal of a different paradigm of communing with art through new ways of “embodied” experience and perception. During several weeks of research residencies, the artists will confront selected works and/or museum spaces. The effects of their work will be presented and will contribute to the discussion on the “translational” potential of choreography, which broadens the reception of works from the MNW collection and reveals their topicality.
