Niki Loroch – Marching band

by Niki Loroch

"Heterosexuals can't understand camp because everything they do is camp." – Charles Ludlam, "Ridiculous Theatre: Scourge of Human Folly", 1992 Marching band is a corpus of performative actions deployed and punctually activated within an exhibition space. Conceived as a fanfare and through tropological incarnations, the various characters that compose it mobilize in order to — amongst other things — attempt to ruffle the few tacit contracts that regulate the fields of display. In short: get your handkerchiefs ready.
SLAP !

FINE ARTS

SLAP !

with Geoffrey Cottenceau, Gina Proenza

Whether it’s a parade, a particle accelerator or a dance ball, SLAP invites you to inhabit a space from a gravitational perspective. Positioned on the boundary between two and three dimensions, the works are subject to centrifugal laws and find themselves exchanging with one another to create fortuitous narratives, as if the continuous round of which they were a part of had suddenly come to a halt. The exhibition space becomes the site of a fundamentally social event - in terms of the works it hosts and the exhibition context - and reveals the social perspective that the works hold in rela- tion to each other. Like a boring chat with a friend of a friend, some pieces are overwhelmed by their conversations, while others lend themselves easily to them. You’ll have no hesitation in intercepting some of the phrases exchanged between the works, while having the opportunity to: reply/nego- tiate/argue with the social time-space that SLAP, as a real static meeting point, offers for an evening.
