Body Space(d): Flo Kasearu and Renate Keerd

Between 27 and 30 November Tallinn Art Hall and Sõltumatu Tantsu Lava will present joint project “Body Space(d)”, which brings together three pairs of artists from the Estonian visual art and performance scenes. Each pair will collaborate on a unique, one-night-only performance.

Curator Evelyn Raudsepp has invited three artist duos to create performative works: Edith Karlson and Sigrid Savi, Rene Köster and Mark Raidpere, and Flo Kasearu and Renate Keerd. On three consecutive nights the results of these collaborations will be presented and then concluded on the fourth night with a diverse programme, featuring discussion, music, and the creation of shared space.

On 29th of Nov at 20 artist Flo Kasearu and theatre director Renate Keerd will present their collaboration. Both artists use refreshingly the absurd in their work, as well as relying on a symbiosis of media and puckish playfulness.

“Body Space(d)” is a collaboration between Tallinn Art Hall and Sõltumatu Tantsu Lava, where curator Evelyn Raudsepp, who is working at the intersection of performing and visual arts, continues the research into the symbolic spaces – the white cube and the black box. This time placing the body into the mix as well. With her performative curation she creates unique formats in which the audience is also welcomed to activate their perceptional horizon in order to meet unexpected artistic situations.

In Tallinn Art Hall the combination of the invited artists’ practices and the thematic framing allows experimentation to take place within the clinical white cube with theatrical means. It also enables the artists to look into connections between embodied performance and the richness of artistic expression in visual art.
