What would it mean for choreography to function as an exhibition? This question drives a newly commissioned project by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, who reimagines her stage piece Vortex Temporum, set to Gérard Grisey's music, for an art space's unique temporal and spatial conditions. Instead of merely relocating a dance performance, De Keersmaeker transforms the choreography into a nine-week-long exhibition. This innovative approach alters the essential materials and conditions of dance, showcasing the rigorous structure and choreographic language for which she is renowned in a new exhibition format. It also highlights the intricate conceptual, technical, and physical labor that underpins her work. A multi-volume boxed catalogue accompanies the exhibition, documenting its development and connection to Vortex Temporum. The first set of volumes introduces the project and outlines its preparations, while the second set reflects on the exhibition's progression. The catalogue features a re-edition of De Keersmaeker's original program book, photographic documentation by Babette Mangolte and Anne Van Aerschot, drawings by De Keersmaeker, and new essays by notable writers such as Douglas Crimp and Elena Filipovic. The exhibition took place at Wiels in Brussels, Centre Pompidou in Paris, and Tate in London.

Joachim Bandaus skulpturale Arbeiten aus den Jahren 1967 bis 1974 erscheinen heute ebenso merkwürdig und einzigartig wie damals, als er sie schuf. Zugleich technoid und körperlich, minimalistisch und monströs sowie häufig mit Anschlüssen oder Schläuchen versehen, die an organische Öffnungen und Tentakel erinnern, stellen sie für die Gegenwart erneut relevante Fragen nach Handlungsfähigkeit, Kontrolle, Technologie und Geschichte.
