"Presenting works from the early 20th century to today, "The paradox of stillness:
art, object, and performance" examines the notion of stillness as both a performative
and visual gesture, featuring practitioners who have constructed static or near-static
experiments that hover somewhere between action and representation as they are experienced
in the gallery space. The exhibition investigates performance from the perspective
of the object rather than the body, examining how performance has reinterpreted traditional
artistic media. Stillness and permanence are qualities typically seen as inherent
to painting and sculpture-consider the frozen gestures of a historical tableau or
the unyielding solidity of a bronze figure. The Paradox of Stillness, however, expands
the artwork's quality of stillness to accommodate uncertain temporalities and physical
states, investigating works that merge objects with human bodies suspended in motion.
Featuring artists whose works include performative elements but also embrace acts,
objects, and gestures that refer more to the inert qualities of painting or sculpture
than to true staged action, The Paradox of Stillness rethinks the history of performance
through its aesthetic investigations into the interplay of the fixed image and the
live body"
