nowhere / now here

In the summer of 2024 mumok in cooperation with ImPulsTanz will present a jointly curated performance festival on level +4 of the museum. Contemporary choreographers such as Trajal Harrell and others not only occupy the gallery level with live performances but also, in collaboration with curators Marianne Dobner and Christine Standfest, select historic film works from the mumok collections that have galvanized and shaped them in their artistic practice—including current references. This creates a meshwork of historical and contemporary positions—a relational fabric of inspiration. The festival thus also negotiates the question of how to archive ephemeral art forms that not only address but outright embody presence, the present, and change.
 

The performance festival culminates in Nikima Jagudajev’s performative exhibition Basically.
