Performance: by Kirvan Fortuin - A Festival of Project Spaces

Framer Framed takes part in A Festival of Project Spaces (24-27 November), organised by K_nstvl___! The festival aims to highlight the diverse collection of project spaces, art(ist-run) initiatives and platforms in Amsterdam. A Festival is focused specifically on the Amsterdam ‘project spaces’ scene. Their goal is to generate visibility for these particular spaces in Amsterdam. At the same time, A Festival functions as a field research into the different ways of exhibiting and presenting by project spaces.

Juliette Huygen in Metropolis M over de performance van Kirvan Fortuin:

“De marathon gaat om 10:30 van start in Framer Framed, met een betoverende dansinterpretatie van de Zuid-Afrikaanse choreograaf en danser Kirvan Fortuin op Winter Morning II van Woodkid & Nils Frahm. Op een vertelling over immigratie, over zoeken en over angst en xenofobie danst Fortuin in visuele parallel met de werken van de tentoonstelling Re(as)sisting Narratives. Hij beweegt eenzaam, maar ook open, tegenover de werken die de problematische geschiedenis van zijn eigen geboorteland belichten. Het lijkt een zwaar begin zo vroeg op de morgen, maar de relatie tussen danser, narratief, ruimte en werken is zo vanzelfsprekend dat het niet zo overkomt. Dit belooft vooral veel goeds.”
