Kate McIntosh
In Many Hands
- World premiere
- Performance Sensory performance
With ›In Many Hands‹ Brussels based artist Kate McIntosh dives into the tactile and the multi-sensory, inviting the audience to test, touch, listen, search and sniff. Guided as always by her fascination with the misuse of objects, playfulness with the audience, strong performativity and off-beat humour, this new project steps away from the stage – instead bringing the audience into a series of aesthetic sensory situations, and inviting them to experiment with materials and encounter physical phenomena themselves. If one really does learn-by-doing, then what’s learned here is a sensitization of nerves, a tuning of attention, a priming of curiosity. ›In Many Hands‹ is part laboratory, part exhibition-fair, part sensotopia - as it unfolds, visitors take their time to engage and explore as they wish, following their noses and curiosities in a real-time exploration of reflection-through-doing.
After performance talk with Kate McIntosh on Saturday 15.10.
