Opening 11.8., 16:00

Colliding together choreography and videomaking, the exuberant and unashamedly entertaining video Mariachi 17 (2009), is an excellent example for La Ribots tactic of the single take with hand-held camerawork. A tightly choreographed production involving three performers and an elaborate set, Mariachi 17 teems with teasing cinematic references from Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s The Red Shoes (1984) to Sam Raimi’s comedy Crimewave (1985), and ingenious spatial effects. Hectic videos-within-videos and perspectival spaces-within-spaces create a giddy sense of perpetual motion.

Shown as a part of the RETROSPECTIVE LA RIBOT: Occuuppatiooon!

 

Born in Madrid in 1962 and now based in Geneva, La Ribot is a choreographer, dancer, director and visual artist; a radically multidisciplinary creator. Her work has its origins in movement, the body, and her own background in dance, to which she adds other practices, systems and materials as they become necessary. From the beginning of her career her work has included live performance, video, speech, sign language, found art, installations and ‘relational’ works. She has involved different communities in her performances and videos, both professional colleagues and people with no experience in the world of art.

 

Her works have been presented at the Tate Modern, London, the Centre Pompidou, Paris, the Panorama Festival, Rio de Janeiro, Impulstanz, Vienna and Art Basel. She was awarded the Spanish National Dance Prize in 2000 and The Gold Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts in 2016 by the Spanish Ministry of Culture.
