Content description
The overture happens before the curtain rises.
A form or formula as an introduction to something else, something to happen.
A pro-gramma.
But also a form on its own.
Connected and unconnected at the same time. A supplement in advance.
The overture (from the French ouverture) also means opening. Not just the introduction/ program of a work but also opening the work, dissecting, stabbing. Pointing to an inside but revealing a radical outside.
The work/ the overture as supplement and wound.
The workshop introduces some key ideas and artworks/-practices, and continues exploring wounds/ ‘outsides’ in the participants’ art practices.
