Celebrating the 2024/25 nominees of Premio Vienna – The Italien Performance
Art Award
The Angewandte Performance Laboratory (APL) and the the Italian Cultural Institute
in Vienna
The Angewandte Performance Laboratory (APL) and the
the Italian Cultural Institute in Vienna extend an invitation to an event celebrating the winners of the PREMIO VIENNA – PERFORMANCE
ART AWARD. The evening will feature Gaia Ginevra Giorgi and Francesco Corsi. Premio Vienna is a collaborative project between
the Italian Ministry of Culture, the Italian Cultural Institute in Vienna, and the University of Applied Arts Vienna to foster
exchange between Italy and Austria within the European performance art scene. During the course of the event, Gaia and Francesco
will introduce themselves and their artistic works to a broader audience.
Gaia
Ginevra Giorgi is inviting us to a listening session to encounter her artistic practice of writing, sound composition and
performance, which oscillates between autobiography, archaeology and imagination. During her residency in Vienna, Gaia will
engage with vocal archives, investigating psychoacoustic and mediumistic phenomena. Through techniques of embodiment and self-induced
trance states, she will explore glossolalia and otherworldly voices vocally and corporeally.
Francesco Corsi, who
works between choreography, performance and visual art, will introduce his new research, inspired by Adriana Cavarero's Critique
of Rectitude. During his residency in Vienna, he will compose a cartography of postures, focusing on its ethical inscriptions
on the flesh, departing from the deconstruction of a vertical body and its claim to an autonomous subjectivity – incarnated
in the figure of the soldier.
