REACH, GATHER, HOLD
installation (film, fabric) 2021 in collaboration with Sarah McWhinney and Stephanie Black-Daniels exhibition at 16 Nicholson Street Gallery, Glasgow >>>> Supported by: Pola Art Foundation 助成：ポーラ美術振興財団 |
私たちの日常の「労働」の身振りは、世代から世代へと受け継がれている。ケア労働のような日々繰り返される無償労働を行う身体を観察し、三人のアーティストが共に、日々の生命維持の労働のための「労働歌」とその歌の「振り付け」を創作する。音楽家のサラ・マクウィニーとパフォーマンスアーティストのステファニー・ブラックダニエルズと協働制作を行い、授乳や家事などの身体の動きから「REACH(たどり着く）」「GATHER(集める）」「HOLD （持つ/支える/抱きしめる）」の身振りに焦点を当てる。作品は映像と、振り付けのためのスコアで構成される。コロナ禍によって人々の活動がより孤立する中、共に歌を歌うことの意味を問いかける。
The gestures of the various daily “labours” we perform to this day are passed on from generation to generation. Observing body gestures of daily repetitive unpaid labour such as care work, three artists work together to create and chreograph a “work song” for this day-to-day labour to maintain our lives. Working with musician Sarah McWhinney and performance artist Stephanie Black-Daniels, the work explores the gestures of REACH, GATHER and HOLD from the body movements of breastfeeding and housework. The project culminated in an installation consisting of multiple screen film and a score for the choreography. It invites viewers to question the meaning of singing together in a context where Covid-19 has impacted people's activities more isolated. |
