DISCOllective: Event Museum
Public can come any time while the Event Museum is opened and stay for as long as it wants.
»No viewer saw the entire Event Museum, as each witnessed only one time segment, only one set of situations, which at the same time contained a reference to the whole. The performer does not seem to archive his private events, or the turning points in his dance career, or the choreographic turning points in the history of contemporary dance, but rather past projects or their scores, which have already become part of his body, he lets them flow through a communal, co-creative spirit, thereby renewing them and offering starting points for their future development.
I did not understand the Museum of Events as a performance, nor as a happening, but rather as an invitation to meet without any prior requirements; a gesture that seems all the more necessary to preserve in a period in which we associate happiness more with self-optimization (physical, cognitive, emotional, spiritual) than with coexistence, co-creation, and sharing.« Jaka Bombač
Event Museum is built by events. It is made of events, which are artefacts, which are objects, which are affects, which are materials, which are movements, which are choreographies. They are the building material (like a brick) with which we build the Event Museum. Each experience we do in the Event Museum co-builds it.
The events thus shape the structure, the programme, the vision, the organisation and the collections of the Event Museum.
The guided dance(d) tours through the collections of the Museum of Events, organised by DISCOllective, are aimed at a collective playful artistic exploration of dance, performing, choreography, improvisation, practice, reflection, production, curation, archiving, documentation, education and thus the construction of the Event Museum.
An event is a moment that creates in a moment a documentation of itself in any medium. The event is always collective, multiplicity, impure difference, multimedia, a queer repetition.
