Dancing in the Blindspot

To dance in the blindspot is neither to be concealed nor to be rendered visible, but to exist in the crevice where vision breaks down. The blindspot is this stubborn absence from the field of vision, the point at which the eye, in its arrogance, believes it perceives all and yet cannot detect the crack in its own retina. Here, in this emptiness, another choreography takes place: fugitive, porous, alive. What does it mean to choreograph out of nowhere, to perform invisibility, to summon presences that seemingly vanish?The Fellows inhabiting the house this year - Sajan Mani, Elia Nurvista, Chaveli Sifre, and Raul Walch, together with guest artists Robert Lippok, Radio Papesse, Luigi Presicce, Alex Martinis Roe, Justin Randolph Thompson, and Suraj Yengde - do not attempt to counter the blindspot or re-envision it, but to demand another way of relation. Through desertion, psychofeminist sensing strategies, invocation and presence.
