Equations 2012

 

Performed at Dixon Place, New York, part of the Crossing Boundaries works in progress series.

EQUATIONS is derived from a sequence of facial exercises that are used in the physical rehabilitation of patients who undergo reconstructive surgery. The perfor­mance was conceived as part of a larger interdisciplinary research project on medi­cine, faciality and human expressiveness, FEATURES – VIENNA FACE PROJECT directed by Christina Lammer in Vienna.

Equations was created by Selma Trevino, Tamar Tembeck and Christina Lammer, and performed by Tamar Tembeck.

Tamar Tembeck is a Montreal-based performing artist, art historian, lecturer and cu­rator. Her recent research interests focus on how diverse contemporary cultural prac­tices are tied to the field of medicine. www.tembeck.org

Christina Lammer lives and works as a sociologist and video maker in Vienna (Austria). She collaborates with facially paralyzed patients who are treated in plastic surgery, with Manfred Frey, head of the plastic surgery department at Medical Uni­versity Vienna and with visual artists, performers and choreographers. www.corporealities.org.

The performance received the support of the Conseil des Arts et Lettres du Québec.
