Tracing Movement

Flux Projects is proud to present Tracing Movement, a series of seven short films exploring the intersection of mark marking and dance. These ways of working, usually shown in separate contexts, are both fundamentally gestural and, as such, deeply kindred. Abstract art can be said to be the recorded outcome of movement, often intuitive, emotional and even musical. Dance, often thought of as transient and intangible, can also be perceived as a series of invisibly drawn shapes. In light of these commonalities, we have invited a group of artists to showcase a selection of short films demonstrating this kindredness, whether as recordings of performances involving mark making, collaborations across these ways of working or filmed documentation of the act of creating gestural artworks.
