Jérôme Bel - 76’38’’ + ∞

The first solo exhibition in a museum by the French choreographer Jérôme Bel, curated by Antonia Alampi. It is time rather than space that characterizes this project. Hence the title 76’38’’ + ∞ which specifically alludes to the duration and encourages to observe the works on display from the beginning to the end, a classical norm in theatres but unusual behavior in a museum. The exhibition featured Jérôme Bel's works both through a documentary approach and live performances. Danzare come se nessuno stesse guardando (2017) is a work specifically conceived for the exhibition at the Pecci Centre: a continuous solo searching for a concept of dance deprived of gravity, desire, culture, and expectations, a dance that swallows its viewers while also existing without them, a dance that is empowered, rather than inspired, by the museum, its infrastructure, and protocols. The show Compagnia Compagnia (2015), made up of non-professionals of all ages, was performed by members of the local communy in the museum spaces. Moreover, on the occasion of the exhibition and for the first time in Italy, Jérôme Bel's Gala was presented at Fabbrica Europa Festival in Florence.
