Programme
Yvonne Rainer : A Reader
Yvonne Rainer: A Reader explores the legacy of the choreographer and filmmaker born in 1934, a pivotal figure of the New York avant-garde. From the 1960s onward, she shifted away from minimalism to question emotions, as well as social and political relations, articulating a critical, feminist, and queer perspective. The exhibition adopts the format of a reader — a collection of texts — expanded into a multidisciplinary space bringing together dance, cinema, performance, visual arts, literature, and archives. Alongside a complete retrospective of her films, numerous contemporary artists (Atlas, Boudry/Lorenz, Maheke, Ntjam, Pendleton…) engage in dialogue with her work. A bilingual publication accompanies this groundbreaking project, making her writings, interviews, and essential reflections available in French for the first time.
