Reading Galli: Dance Psychotherapy Workshop with artist Grace Schwindt
Join artist Grace Schwindt in a reading of Galli’s work through the framework of dance psychotherapy. The event will use the choreographic quality of Galli’s large-scale paintings as a starting point for movements that connect with the memories stored in our bodies. Schwindt‘s research has led her to explore movement therapy techniques as tools for ‘reading’ art works through a means that is open and associative, privileging affect and personal connection, rather than rational or linguistic response. She will provide an introduction to her research and lead the group in a physical exploration of the work and their own memories.
This workshop is free to attend, but has a limited capacity, so please book a ticket, and let us know if you can no longer attend so we can release your space to someone on the waitlist.
Please wear loose comfortable clothing.
Due to the nature of the workshop complex emotions may be explored. There will be a quiet space for contemplation should you need to access it.
All CCA events are fully accessible. Please contact the gallery if you have specific needs.
BIOGRAPHY
Grace Schwindt (b. 1979, Germany) is based in London, UK and works with sculpture, performance, film and drawing. Through her work she unfolds visual narratives exploring the effects of capitalist culture upon the body and psyche of the individual. She analyses the role that bodies, language and objects play in the construction of history and memory. Her process often originates from specific research and conversations with a wide range of people including activists, artists, musicians, politicians, refugees or her own family members. Many of her works examine aspects of historical events with an emphasis on social relations. The different media employed are connected and intertwined, shapes from costumes reappear in drawings while sculptures echo performative gestures.
Schwindt‘s works have been presented in museums and galleries as well as in theatres and other performance contexts. Solo exhibitions Peter Kilchmann Gallery in 2024, Zeno X Gallery in Belgium in 2023, Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, Switzerland in 2022/2023, Kunsthal Gent, Belgium in 2022, Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow and a rose is a rose is a rose in Amsterdam in 2019, MARCO – Museum of Contemporary Arts in Vigo, Spain in 2016. Performances have been presented at Volksbühne in Berlin and Kunstmuseum in St. Gallen in 2019, Robert Arts Institute in London and Frascati Theatre in Amsterdam in 2018, Kaaitheatre in Brussels in 2017, Royal Academy of Arts as part of Block Universe Performance Festival in London in 2016, Museum M in Leuven in 2013 and South London Gallery in London in 2011.
