Mash Up (2014)
This group show of various performances transfers the principles of ready-mades and objet trouvé developed in the visual arts, into the live arts. In this case, the „found objects“ are existing choreographic works that are interlinked with one another temporally and spatially in a single, new piece. In collaboration with Roland Rauschmeier Milli Bitterli, Philipp […]
Pornography (2014)
The book Pornografia was completed by the Polish writer Witold Gombrowicz in Argentina in 1958. Despite its provocative title, the novel disappoints the voyeuristic reader as it does not offer what it indicates. Instead, the author exposes processes of language, power and manipulation which are entangled in, and eclipsed by, the very mechanisms of voyeurism in language. […]
Happy End (2013)
A choreography to an installation to a novel: the works of Vienna-based choreographer Anne Juren always promise a multi-faceted encounter of different art forms. In Happy End, based on the last major installation by visual artist Martin Kippenberger – The Happy End of Franz Kafka’s Amerika (1994) – she explores themes such as longing and failure and […]
Lost & Found (2012)
In this show Anne Juren embarks on a journey through her memories: past and forgotten things will be activated – from the first children’s dances via her dance training up to current choreographic works, memories combine with newly invented ones, her own with contemporary aspects. The stage fills with memories, images and texts through which […]
Tableaux Vivants (2011)
In Tableaux Vivants the art forms interweave and allow hybrid relations to develop between the paintings, sculptures and videos of Roland Rauschmeier and the bodies of the performers choreographed by Anne Juren. When performance art and fine art meet one another in their formal languages, their visual logic and their history, mutually influence one another, fascinate, infect […]
Maria Theresia entdeckt die zeitgenössische Kunst (2010)
A group of Viennese based artists thought that it was ridiculous that Marie Therese sit with her back to the museumquartier, so only facing the Hofburg, she missed the latest developments in the visual and performing arts. To change this blank spot in her imperial mind, they will bring her spirit from the statue right […]
Magical (2010)
Choreographer Anne Juren and director Annie Dorsen collaborate on Magical, a solo dance piece performed by Juren, which uses the canon of feminist performance art and the rituals of a magic show to play with illusion, trickery and transformation. The simultaneity of magic, choreography and performance leads to surprising turns: all deploy the power of metamorphosis, […]
Look Look (2007)
This duo is a choreographic transcription of the creative process at play in the world of fashion. Devised in the manner of a fashion show, the starting point for the work was the desire to to show the techniques of the designer Eva Blut, as well as the catwalk attitude differences when the clothes are […]
Komposition (2006)
Komposition is a choreographic work that provides subtle insights into the cooperation of the dancers Marianne Baillot, Alix Eynaudi, Anne Juren and Agata Maszkiewicz. In according to the title, this piece is a putting together – more accurately a „dancing together“ – by four women. It provides an independent perspective of how a group of dancers […]
Code Series (2005)
Code Series addresses aspects of different modalities in the production of movement, i.e. time and space, the opposition of up and down, of floating and gravitation, continuity and discontinuity. While staging a performance these possibilities are not available, every performance is subject to a strict setting. The piece is using these viable, preconceived possibilities by performing […]
