Absurd Composition No. 12.1 – Absurdum Temporary Art

LENGTH: ca 45 min

After a one week residence at Inkonst, Absurdum Temporary Art presents a performance concert mixing classic Fluxus performance scores with new inventions. 

Along with artists from different fields in the performing arts, we are investigating the materials from which performative art is born, such as text and movement scores, graphic scores, and sketches, translating it from practice to practice. A dance becomes a  word, becomes a light, becomes a song, becomes an action. The aim is a seamless flow of creation where translation and interpretation become a language, a new way of understanding. 

Throughout the experiment, we follow the criteria for Fluxus work:

Globalism
Art-life
Intermedia
Experimentalism
Coincidence
Playfulness
Simplicity
Volatility 

We also offer an open stage for you to try out classic scores, such as Drip Music by George Brecht and Nivea Creme Piece by Alison Knowels among others.
This marks the first out of four weeks of experimentation. The remaining three are to be held in various other locations in Malmö during the fall.
