PQ 2027 infolehelt:
* In this exhibition, participating countries and regions are invited to present scenography and
performance design as a professional field and a practice in their local contexts, highlighting key developments, emerging impulses, and innovation over the past six years.
- We also wish to draw attention to scenographic moments, methods, and projects that work with absences and silences or center them in their approach. Some of the questions we ask are: How do scenography, performance space, and curatorial practices engage with absences and silences? How do they direct our attention—visually, aurally, or even haptically? How do they reveal, and how do they conceal? In what ways do absences and silences structure the rhythm, or otherwise enrich, the scenographic dimension of performance? What role does the body play in scenographies of absence and silence? How can scenographers collaborate with other artists to explore absence and silence?
- Crucially, absences and silences can create opportunities to imagine what is still emerging or yet to come, about what is yet to emerge. Theatre scholar Sylwia Dobkowska writes about absence as “a creative and open space for any possibility to happen.” What role does scenography play in shaping such spaces of potential, of new ideas and images? How does scenography open up space? And in turn, how do spaces activate scenography? What futures might unfold through scenographic practice?
* We invite curators across all program sections and projects to engage with these themes and questions in a creative way. At PQ 2027, we hope to collectively harness and materialize the generative potential of absences and silences. When we come together in Prague, we want to create an experience shaped by curatorial actions and scenographic interventions that experiment with the relationships between absence, silence, scenography, performance, and curatorial practice. We envision curatorial projects that, even if only temporarily, transform absence into presence or silence into resonance, making visible and audible what has not yet been seen or heard but could be in the future.
Kuraatori kontseptsiooni ootame kirjalikult, visuaalid on alati abiks.
