Round table

Organized jointly with the Municipal Theater of the Slaughterhouse

Participants:

Aimar Pérez Galí , dancer, choreographer and pedagogue, is a contemporary dance professional who has developed a line of research around movement, dance and its history that has led him to enter the visual arts scene through the front door.

Lola Hinojosa , head of the Performing Arts and Intermedia Collection at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia. Her main areas of research are performance, moving image and gender theory.

Anna Manubens is an independent producer and curator with a preference for hybrid roles at the intersection of research, programming, project development and exhibitions.

Jesús Navarro , director of MORERA. Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Lleida, art historian, exhibition curator. His main areas of work are 20th century art and he was one of the first to incorporate performance art into the collections of Spanish museums.

For at least ten years, performance art has been a true transformation of the contemporary museum, both in its exhibition and conservation functions. How are everyday acts that were originally produced in the privacy of the studio or even the home exhibited? What is the regime for acquiring ethereal works that are largely based on dematerialization? How is the public transformed in its expectant attitude towards works that demand their participation? What story is the museum writing when it collects certain performance works?
