Works on Paper: a report on imaginary architecture

(2004-2005)

Created with and performed by Taryn Griggs and Karinne Keithley Syers

A dance that began with the Situationist International and the work of architect and artist Constant (Nieuwenhuys). We asked questions about the relationship between political theory, historical research, and art making, and presented a "report" of the artistic results of structural experiments. A dance about (and also not about) architecture.

“Let us be consciously imaginary architects, since we know very well that only social transformation and radical political transformation can create the basis for actual work.”

—Bruno Taut
