Lecture Tuan Mami: GO FOR PERFORMANCE
Lecture Tuan Mami: GO FOR PERFORMANCE
Performer
and visual artist TUAN MAMI (Vietnam) with his practice marks an example at the borders of "old school“ performance techniques
and in connection with striking developments of contemporary performance art connected with social interventions and transdisciplinary
approaches.
Without using a linear activist vocabulary his poetic actions and performance installations
point with sharp precision on failures in the society texture of his home region. So his works deal with the destruction of
nature and poisoning of whole areas caused by the extensive mining of minerals and the consequences for the local inhabitants
or with the case of massive women trafficking organized and covered by the state are exemplary for his approaches. His works
are based on longterm anthropological and sociological observations.
TUAN MAMI will hold a lecture on his work
in the frame of GO FOR PERFORMANCE − urban matters of performer und choroegrapher Daniel Aschwanden. Afterwards Daniel Aschwanden
and TUAN MAMI will discuss questions about approaches of contemporary performance.
