Abstract

Global Groove: Art, Dance, Performance & Protest is the title of both an exhibition that took place at the Museum Folkwang in 2021, and its catalog, which includes fourteen essays that examine a century of interdisciplinary exchange among dance, performance, and the visual arts. The catalog vividly chronicles expansive encounters between Europe, Asia, and North America, and its images take center stage. Through lush layouts and gorgeous photos of striking artworks, this wide book gives these images space to breathe, with singular works occupying multiple pages. This design vivifies the artists’ projects, and speaks to one of the most valuable contributions of this book: its inquiries into the role of documentation in histories of dance and performance. A closing essay by Walter Moser considers questions of documentation through archival records of Japanese post-World War II dance and performance groups, such as the Hi Red Center collaboration with Tokuji Murai, and Butoh dancer Tatsumi Hijikata with Eikoh Hosoe. Moser examines a well-known photo book collaboration between Hijikata and Hosoe called Kamaitachi, and the images that helped create a mythology around Hijikata and cement his legacy. In both form and content, the catalog provokes important questions about how performances are documented, and for whom these images are created. The exhibition, which took place in Germany, and the catalog, which is printed in German and English, includes very few Asian, Eurasian, or Asian American writers. Perhaps including more of those voices could have strengthened the analysis of “exchange” between “East” and “West,” which seems to be a throughline of the publication. I use quotes around these terms because they imply a particular dichotomy, homogenization, and static center. The essays primarily present an encyclopedic archive of varying art and performance movements between Asia, Europe, and North America, as well as notable meetings and collaborations among artists.

相遇、交流与断裂:全球艺术家展览目录

《全球凹槽：艺术、舞蹈、表演与抗议》是2021年在Folkwang博物馆举办的一个展览的标题，也是其目录的标题，其中包括14篇文章，探讨了一个世纪以来舞蹈、表演和视觉艺术之间的跨学科交流。该目录生动地记录了欧洲、亚洲和北美之间的广泛接触，其图像占据了中心舞台。通过华丽的布局和引人注目的艺术品的华丽照片，这本宽阔的书给了这些图像喘息的空间，奇异的作品占据了多页。这一设计生动地展示了艺术家的项目，并说明了这本书最有价值的贡献之一：它探讨了文献在舞蹈和表演史中的作用。Walter Moser的一篇闭幕文章通过日本二战后舞蹈和表演团体的档案记录考虑了文件问题，例如与村井德吉合作的Hi Red Center，以及与细江英子合作的布图舞者Hijikata Tatsumi。Moser研究了Hijikata和Hosoe合作的一本名为Kamaitachi的著名摄影书，以及帮助创造了Hijikata神话并巩固其遗产的图像。在形式和内容上，目录引发了关于如何记录表演以及为谁创建这些图像的重要问题。展览在德国举行，目录用德语和英语印刷，很少有亚裔、欧亚裔或亚裔美国作家参加。也许包括更多这样的声音可以加强对“东方”和“西方”之间“交流”的分析，这似乎是该出版物的一条主线。我在这些术语周围使用引号，因为它们暗示了一种特殊的二分法、同质化和静态中心。这些文章主要展示了亚洲、欧洲和北美之间各种艺术和表演运动的百科全书式档案，以及艺术家之间的著名会议和合作。看起来

期刊介绍： For dance scholars, professors, practitioners, and aficionados, Dance Chronicle is indispensable for keeping up with the rapidly changing field of dance studies. Dance Chronicle publishes research on a wide variety of Western and non-Western forms, including classical, avant-garde, and popular genres, often in connection with the related arts: music, literature, visual arts, theatre, and film. Our purview encompasses research rooted in humanities-based paradigms: historical, theoretical, aesthetic, ethnographic, and multi-modal inquiries into dance as art and/or cultural practice. Offering the best from both established and emerging dance scholars, Dance Chronicle is an ideal resource for those who love dance, past and present. Recently, Dance Chronicle has featured special issues on visual arts and dance, literature and dance, music and dance, dance criticism, preserving dance as a living legacy, dancing identity in diaspora, choreographers at the cutting edge, Martha Graham, women choreographers in ballet, and ballet in a global world.
