About

Contemporary Art Stavanger consists of an online art journal as well as a physical residency program for critics, writers and researchers. Through our work, we aim to contribute meaningful conversation relevant to the Stavanger region’s art scene, while at the same time connecting the content to a larger national and international discourse – we therefore publish in both Norwegian and English. In addition to reviews, essays, and interviews, we explore the expansive possibilities of CAS’ online platform and investigate different ways of working with writers, residencies, and the format of art writing and criticism. We at CAS are dedicated to presenting a wide range of perspectives, voices, and subject matter. Read more

Circle LUX 9, Dans, Linda Blomqvist

May 22, 2016 @15:00 - 16:00 CEST Dance

About

Circle LUX 9
Linda Blomqvsit arbetar med utvidgade föreställningar om koreografi, och söker alternativa former av produktion, process och praktik utifrån ett spekulativt perpspektiv, som leder till varierade former och uttryck.

Till IMIR kommer hon för att presentera hennes solo Circle LUX 9 där hon söker uttryck som går bortom en social föreståelse av dans och performance. Vad kan dansen var i sig själv?

Circle LUX 9 renders the body as raw material that can attain different qualities, capacities and affects. It strives to shift subjectivity and neutralize the social body as we know it. It dissolving cultural and social properties at the same time as it playfully merges and utilizes its different expressions without ever wanting to belong to a specific identity.

Circle LUX 9 is a perpetual transformation of the body and the space and the relation created in between, passing through different spaces, evoking intimacy and imagination it moves between landscape and display. It’s s an intensification of the presence which leaves traces and anticipates the future in an ongoing loop. It’s an exhibition of the body in time and space. Circle LUX 9 proposes the concept of a “magic circle” as a place where temporary worlds within the ordinary world can occur, dedicated to the performance of an act apart.

BIO
Linda Blomqvist born in Stockholm, 1985 is a choreographer and dancer currently based between Brussels and Stockholm. Her work aims to expand the notion of choreography with a focus on alternative modes of production, process and practice from a speculative viewpoint taking various forms and expressions.

Linda studied dance at The Royal Swedish Ballet School 1995-2004 and at P.A.R.T.S 2008-2010. She has been active as a performer in various productions and is touring extensively internationally. In 2012 she joined Rosas where she is now performing in “Drumming”, “Rosas Danst Rosas” and the latest creation “Golden Hours (As you Like it)”. Since 2013 she has been working and touring with Mårten Spångberg performing in “The Nature”, “Epic”, “La Substance – but in English”, and “The Nature FR”.

Her work “Lucha Libre” and “Circle Lux 9” has been presented at MDT, Stockholm, Small Projects, Tromsö, PAF Performing Arts Forum, St Erme and RPS Rosas Performance Space in Brussels. Linda initiated Indigo Dance together with Emma Daniel, Anna Gaiotti and Adriano Wilfert Jensen on an invite to curate the “Dance week” at PAF during the Summer University 2014. Indigo Dance is a situation based – liquefied shapeshifter that has so far been a workshop, a festival and a tumblr, which aims to find alternative modes of knowledge and art exchange implying peers teaching peers in the name of curiosity, fresh undefined ideas and territory, experimentation and realization of concepts. Linda is also a co-founder of the interdisciplinary artist collective Rhododdendron. Their video installation work has been exhibited in several venues in Europe.
