Weserburg Museum of Modern Art, Bremen
Feathers Dancing On Shoulders. Exhibition of her filmic works
Parallel to the Tanz Bremen festival, the Weserburg presents filmic works by Rebecca Horn. In the early 1970s, the exceptional German artist starts documenting her performances. Enigmatic props are used: masks with feathers, moveable apparatuses and artful extensions of individual body parts and limbs. With her so-called body extensions, she succeeds in exploring space and her own perception in a novel way. The poetic power and iconographic diversity of her image world are already present in her early films and performances. The body in motion is given a mysterious counterpart in the kinetic sculptures and spatial installations. The exhibition features selected films from Performances I and II (1972/1973), Berlin - Ubungen in neun Stuecken (1974/75), as well as the feature-length 'Der Eintaenzer' (1978), in which a table dances tango, for example. Admission: adults euro 8, reduced euro 5, families (2 adults/4 children) euro 14 (Image: Rebecca Horn: Collage zu dem Film 'Der Eintaenzer', 1976 (Foto), Privatsammlung Rebecca Horn.
