"Eso" choreographic intervention by Blanca Arrieta

Following the success of “Eso” by the creator and performer Blanca Arrieta at the 84th edition of the San Sebastian Musical Fortnight and as a way of closing the show, the artist will repeat her choreographic intervention designed for the exhibition That Time.Bilbao Fine Arts Museum-Tabakalera.

“Eso”
What kind of presence does movement have in an exhibition hall?
Eso is everything that happens through the rhythms and silences of a body at a given moment in time. Eso begins with silence. The silence that surrounds the stillness of bodies looking at and listening to each other. In the instant that something or someone moves, relationships are modified. 

This project proposes an intervention in the exhibition space. In this case, the exhibition “That Time. Bilbao Fine Arts Museum-Tabakalera”, in which works by different authors, periods and styles dialogue with each other, either in close proximity or interacting more subtly at a greater distance.

The aim is to enter into this dialogue. To this end, the body moves through the exhibition rooms, goes forward, speeds up or stops, generating a continuum of possible relationships. The aim is to give form to hidden tensions and geometries and make them visible. Ultimately, it is the public, observing these new perceptions, who make all this possible. 

What, right now?
This work poses a series of questions concerned with the language of movement in exhibition and museum spaces. What forces drive it and what is its meaning? What form does the space it occupies take? What body, in the presence of these works? How does it interact and what relationships does it generate?

Finally, Blanca questions the time a body needs to tell.
