2024 AEROPONIC ACTS ~ Chameleon Orbit
Dutch Art Institute & Centrale Fies invite you to the
AEROPONIC ACTS 2024: Chameleon Orbit
38 conversations-in-a-form.
Each act of 20 minutes offers a question as a practice of engagement.
Esteemed guest-respondents
will mesh with the questions and offer their improvised, spoken reflections to help the audience think through what is embodied and proposed.
The AEROPONIC ACTS 2024 will be anchored by their curators:
AERPONIC ACTS 2024 ~ Chameleon Orbit
Prologue
For the laws of gravity to be rewritten, for dark energy to be materialized, we ask how many stars a galaxy can form in a day. Particles in orbit may touch you and rotate elsewhere to touch others. Our collective body spins and camouflages. In disguise at first, to be perceived as new immediately after ~ as it absorbs the light in a myriad of color combinations. With stereoscopic vision, our eyes move outward in correspondence.
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, black, white, green, red, black, white, green
Everyday is like survival
You’re my lover, not my rival
We resist and rename systems; stronger gravity by means of proximity, cosmologies to weaken all the constraints of cyclical histories; to dream liberation and the fall of empires

For the AEROPONIC ACTS 2024 the DAI alights once again in the heart of the incredibly beautiful Valle dei Laghi in Trentino, Italy. Our huge gratitude goes to Barbara Boninsegna and Dino Sommadossi and their team at Centrale Fies for their hospitality and invaluable support. It is their vision and stamina that brings emerging performance artists, researchers and activists together in a space of care, commitment and encouragement. It is an honour for DAI to be welcomed here as a friend.
Centrale Fies, 38074 Dro TN, Italy
Entrance to the AEROPONIC ACTS 2024 is free.
‘Aeroponic’ – root systems nourished by air – is the name given by the nomadic Dutch Art Institute to each student's final act in the framework of one out of four defining curriculum components. Journeying with DAI leads to many things, among them the accomplishment of an accredited MA in Art Praxis under the auspices of the ArtEZ University of the Arts.
