Ruth Anderwald: Der Taumel – eine Ressource?, lecture in German at Forum 20:17, Zukunftslabor der Jugendarbeit.9–10 October, 2017Merano, Italy
More than courage, what standing the dizziness of freedom requires is precision.
My talk explains how performance work inhabits a liminal space that blurs the boundaries between art and philosophy, art and life, self and other, intelligence and madness.
According to Aaron Antonovsky health was seen as a movement in a continuum on an axis between total ill-health (dis-ease) and total health (ease).
The one-day symposium titled ‘Agents of Confusion!’ brings together artistic and cross-disciplinary research on dizziness, with speakers from the fields of philosophy, visual arts, creativity research and cultural studies in the form of screenings, artists’ talks, lectures and discussions.
The blurring of art’s boundaries enables it to cross-pollinate and conquer new territories.
The series focuses, in feature films and short films or with video and performance, on future concepts beyond apocalyptic catastrophes or technical utopias that develop positive action patterns of social and economic coexistence.
