About this exposition

en
The project Lineage draws lines between the learning practices of experimental dance and somatic work, and personal ‘artistic genealogy’. ‘Artistic genealogy’ is a creative process Ramstad has been using to build relationships to his Norwegian ancestors and the land they inhabited and about which he knew very little. Lineage strings together these seemingly separate ways of gaining knowledge: official archives and private stories, his archive of somatic approaches and attempts to research land somatically – to think about what it was like to live in a body in rural Norway 100 years ago and ask how this affects how we are living in our bodies now. This exposition reflects a project that includes a video installation, a studio practice, and a performance which uses his archive of videos, stories, and movement. Here he shares thoughts about how we care for and engage in our personal histories and how this engagement changes how we are living in our bodies now. In this exposition you will see or hear the following people, listed in their order of appearance: Otto Ramstad, Lisa Nelson, Maura Gahan, Margit Galanter, Kristin Van Loon, Steve Paxton, Emmett Ramstad, Hans Steinar Gjerdet, Carle Lange, Olive Bieringa, Uma Rabbit Bieringa Ramstad, Andrea Parkins.

Projektet Lineage drar upp linjer mellan lärandepraktik för experimentell dans, somatiskt arbete och personlig "konstnärlig släktforskning". ”Konstnärlig släktforskning” är en kreativ process som Ramstad har använt för att bygga relationer till sina norska förfäder och det land de bebodde och som han visste mycket lite om. Lineage förbinder till synes separata sätt att få kunskap: officiella arkiv och privata historier, samt hans eget arkiv av somatiska tillvägagångssätt och försök att undersöka mark somatiskt. Det är en metod som går ut på att tänka på hur det var att leva i en kropp på landsbygden i Norge för 100 år sedan och fråga hur detta påverkar hur vi lever i våra kroppar nu. Expositionen skildrar ett projekt som innehåller en videoinstallation, en studioövning och en performance som använder hans arkiv med videor, berättelser och rörelse. Här delar han tankar om hur vi tar hand om och engagerar oss i vår personliga historia och hur detta engagemang förändrar hur vi lever i våra kroppar nu.
