Collective Exhibition for a Single Body, performance, Archaeological Museum of Piraeus, documenta 14, photo: Stathis Mamalakis

Collective Exhibition for a Single Body is a proposal by documenta 14 curator Pierre Bal-Blanc in collaboration with the Greek choreographer Kostas Tsioukas and the dancers and performers Myrto Kontoni and Tassos Koukoutas. A body is dissected into distinct parts, as in an anatomical study. Each part, limb, muscle, or organ becomes the medium of an action overseen by the curator and the choreographer and created by a selection of documenta 14 participating artists who work in a variety of disciplines. The proposed gestures are translated into scores and performed among museum visitors by three dancers in an aleatory fashion, continuously repeated.

Choreographer: Kostas Tsioukas; Performers: Myrto Kontoni, Anastasios Koukoutas, Kostas Tsioukas; Scores: Pierre Bal-Blanc, Marie Cool Fabio Balducci, Yael Davids, Maria Eichhorn, Anna Halprin, Maria Hassabi, David Lamelas, Prinz Gholam, Ashley Hans Scheirl, Kostas Tsioukas, Annie Vigier & Franck Apertet (les gens d’Uterpan), Lois Weinberger, Artur Żmijewski

Commissioned by documenta 14 and coproduced by Kadist and Kontakt. The Art Collection of Erste Group
