The residency of the German duo Wilhelm Groener focused on studying the Temporary Slovenian Dance Archive and searching for methods of artistic intervention within the archive. This resulted in the performative lecture Performing the Archive @The Temporary Slovenian Dance Archive, a playful hybrid of lecture and performance set inside the archive at MSUM. The presentation reflected their current artistic research Performing the Archive, which expands on their more than 20-year oeuvre and explores ways of connecting the opposing concepts of the archival and performative. The methods, rhythms, and connotations of archives provide structural threads from which visual elements, the body, sound, and space are woven into performative fabric with multiple narratives and lasting transformations. Their research and performance honoured the fifth anniversary of the archive at MSUM.

With support from the Dance On Pass On Dream On project (Creative Europe), the Ministry of Public Administration, and the City of Ljubljana. In partnership with JSKD.
