Saturday, 16 November 2019 to Sunday, 17 November 2019

Mimosa House presents a newly commissioned performance by Nicole Bachmann in response to Tomaso Binga’s work. Bachmann’s performance investigates the nature of verbal and physical communication: how it is progressively emptied out of meaning through politics and mass media; how we are defined through the social and architectural structures in which we exist; and how to become catalysts for outside change. Working with dancers Patricia Langa, Legion Seven and Jia-Yu Corti, she calls upon a community of bodies and voices to think and feel differently, to stretch and widen these structures and rethink the connections that we already have. 

The performance will happen twice: on Saturday 16th 3-5pm and on Sunday 17th 3-5pm. The performance is durational, feel free to come and go at any time.

Free and open to all but please sign up via Eventbrite : https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/mimosa-house-18167207447 

This event is part of Mimosa House’s current exhibition, Tomaso Binga: A Silenced Victory, and is supported by Arts Council England, Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia & Swiss Cultural Fund UK

Artist ( Description ): 

Nicole Bachmann is an artist based in London. Her work investigates the nature of verbal communication and how it is progressively emptied out of meaning through politics and mass media and how we search for meanings that lie elsewhere. How can we free ourselves from set definitions enforced by spoken language’s power structures? And how can we create meaning and alternative spaces away from these structures? Through collaborations with actors and dancers she creates an embodied vocabulary, negotiating the materiality of speech, gestures and movements, to investigate the power of the voice and its relationship to other bodies and to find agency in this relationality.
