JACOPO MILIANI
fig-2 16/50
20 – 26 April 2015
Jacopo Miliani creates a choreographic score as exhibition, responding to fig-2’s performative and time based structure. Miliani has been in London for the last two months and has been following the fig-2 programme closely. The choreography will be composed of seven states over seven days, manifested through the configuration of the mobile wall structures, plexiglass modules, photocopies alongside textile components. The indeterminate body of the score will be complemented by a number of accumulating vases of flowers, appearing daily. One element informing the other, the different configurations will emerge, where representation of a gesture will be read into a movement that surfaces as a still pose that the exhibition holds daily. Please book your tickets for the talk ‘Uttering the Spectacle: Exhibition as Score, Costume as Movement’ by Jacopo Miliani, Marketa Uhlirova and Fatos Üstek here.
fig-2 would like to thank the program MIP Move Improve Prove 2 for cooperation and support at the project.
This talk will bring together fashion scholar Marketa Uhlirova, artist Jacopo Miliani and fig-2 curator Fatos Ustek. Staged on the occasion of Jacopo Miliani's solo exhibition at fig-2, the talk will expand on the dynamic relationship between movement, score and body bringing in influences from fashion, cinema and dance. The talk will respond to the choreographic score study of Miliani's, to the seven states of an exhibition displayed over seven days, manifested through the configuration of the mobile wall elements, plexiglass modules, photocopies with a textile component.
