mute BODY 21-27.06.2024

The final exhibition of PKRD 59 compliments the journey built upon the groundwork laid in the initial chapter, windy HOME - presented during Tour de Franz. This concluding phase represents the culmination of the artist residency experience, involving the collaboration of artists and curators.

’mute BODY’ aims to give voice to everyone and collectively create a lively ambiance to break the silence. The exhibition is beyond oblivion, at the interface of its outline. The corporeal core seamlessly mutates within artistic realities and unifies with the formed abstract macrocosms of residency.
This interconnected common narrative begins with the dissection of the concept of the BODY into its prime components. It is one of the basic and most complex elements of humankind's existence. Our BODY is also our first HOME. To find one's understanding, the individual reconstructs themselves and their corporeality in different ways and a volume of varying intensity.

The exhibition is conceived as a 'choreography' of movements orchestrated by the artworks, interacting within and inhabiting the space. Navigating through the exhibit feels like embarking on a winding journey, guided by the interplay of scale between the art pieces and the distinctive aesthetics of the venue - a former school auditorium. This vital environment encourages viewers to actively participate in constructing collective memory and the narrative of PRD59's experience. It aims to cultivate a space that is not static, but rather dynamic and ever-evolving, offering a unique reception with each visit.

In the framework of this comprehension, ‘mute BODY’ will feature a series of performances. Through them, the artists will present their distinctive interpretations, each exploring and interacting with the exhibition space, in an attempt to continually deconstruct the boundaries of interpersonal interaction. This emphasis on mutability and interaction underscores the immersive and transformative nature of the experience. Likewise, the audience has the opportunity to redefine both place and thought.
