Martial Arts in the Museum: Hidden Agency ∞OS Summer Camp and Open Space for Somatosensory Practice
Focusing on the experiential modes of the human body, somatosensory practice, material manifestations of affect and its linguistic actualisations, we set up the Hidden Agency, a speculative hybrid entity between shadow organisation, summer training camp, and open space for physical practice in Gropius Bau museum Berlin.
Ask for the place behind the tea room.
For 2 month, Hidden Agency will become a place for exploring the abstract through physical exercise and corporeal experience, including the study of material/discursive intra-actions and reciprocal connections.
∞OS is an open-source bodymind operating system based on translating various theoretical frameworks into physical practice in order to learn through direct experience and to transfer knowledge between different domains. The collective body-based practice becomes a medium and a playground for experiential understanding of images, concepts and ideas.
Hidden Agency organised by Christin Bolte, Daniela Schmidtke, and Dmitry Paranyushkin, with individual sessions being led by alternate members and guests: Ana Gzirishvili, Björn Eichhorn, Christin Bolte, Daniela Schmidtke, Diego Agulló, Dmitry Paranyushkin, Lea Uría, Maru Mushtrieva, Pedro Jardim, Verónica Mota and others.
