SALON5 - PERFORMATIVE JOURNEYS WITH AGENCY, EMILIO LÓPEZ-MENCHERO, POTENTIAL ESTATE, SLAVS AND TATARS AND MIET WARLOP
Sundays 12.09 / 19.09 / 26.09 / 10.10 / 17.10
In the fall of 2009, Argos invited five artists and collectives from very different backgrounds to reflect about their position as an artist in nowadays society. This question was translated quickly into a working process that functioned as an open platform between the artists, their works, their fields of interest and research and their network(s). In September- October 2010 the participating artists and collectives – namely Agency, Emilio López-Menchero, Potential Estate, Slavs and Tatars and Miet Warlop – present a series of public programmes based on their research and experiences. They call it Salon5. Connectivity, collectivity, encounter, exchange of knowledge and shared learning are keywords for Salon5. Concretely, this event consists of performances in unusual locations and a series of trips out of Brussels, comprising a mixture of screenings, picnics, guided visits, performances, walks and lectures. Together with the audience, the artists retrace the places, people and communities that they researched over the course of a year long period. This event consists of performances in unusual locations and a series of bus trips out of Brussels, comprising a mixture of screenings, picnics, guided visits, performances, walks and lectures. Together with the audience, the artists retrace the places, people and communities that they researched over the course of a year. Salon5 for instance explores through a case study the position of amateur filming in relation to historiography; retraces the steps and actions of a ’forgotten’ artist group; or tries to introduce the public to unlikely parallels between Poland and Iran from the 17th to the 21st century.
