SUMMARY:Bonington Vitrines #28: Gestures – Someone's Doing Something
DESCRIPTION:For the 28th instalment of the Bonington Vitrines series\, we’re delighted to present Someone’s Doing Something\, a project by London based curatorial\, research and archival platform Gestures\, developed in dialogue with writer Isabelle Bucklow. \n\n\n\nThis project\, featuring artists such as Stuart Sherman\, Simon Moretti\, and Yvonne Rainer\, will present a selection of work that explores gesture as a form of artistic expression. Whilst some gestures are recorded through notation or residue\, others survive only in documentation or retelling.  \n\n\n\nThe works in Someone’s Doing Something reflect a broad range of these approaches\, from the formal to the informal\, the scripted to the instinctive\, and considers these against shifting times and contexts.  \n\n\n\nIn considering the location of the Bonington Vitrines\, as a space that is moved through by 100’s of people each day going about their daily business\, this quote by theatre director Peter Brook is considered: \n\n\n\n\n“I can take any empty space and call it a bare stage. A man walks across this empty space whilst someone else is watching him\, and this is all that is needed for an act of theatre to be engaged” – Peter Brook. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull list of artists: Simon Moretti\, Allan Kaprow\, Richard Schechner\, Charlotte Moorman\, Nam June Paik and Yoshi Wada\, Mieko Shiomi\, Sue Tompkins\, Bruce McLean\, Bruce Gilbert\, with Angela Conway and Michael Clark\, Stuart Sherman\, Anastasia Coope\, Yvonne Rainer\, Ricky Jay. \n\n\n\nAbout Gestures\nGestures is a London based curatorial\, research and archival platform that has organised exhibitions\, interventions and projects in locations as diverse as sidewalks in New York and Travelodge hotel rooms\, as well as exhibition spaces such as the Postal Museum in London and 47 Bedford Street in London.Gestures is currently conducting long term research into Situation\, a space in London that existed in the 1970s that did early exhibitions with artists including On Kawara\, Bruce McLean and Bas Jan Ader.Along with colleagues WC2E9HA\, The Everyday Press aka Bunker Basement and Whatever Anderson\, Gestures will open the shared exhibition space Chequers in Summer 2025. \n\n\n\n\nView checklist and text by Isabelle Bucklow here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n\n				\n					\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Allan Kaprow\, Assemblage\, Environments & Happenings\, 1966\, Hardcover Book\n			\n				\n				Bruce Gilbert\, Angela Conway\, Michael Clark\, This Way\, 1984\, Vinyl\, LP\n			\n				\n				Yvonne Rainer\, Work 1961-73\, 1974\, Paperback Book\n			\n				\n				Anastasia Coope\, Title Magic\, 2024\, Ink on Paper\n			\n				\n				Bruce McLean\, King for a Day and 999 Other Pieces/Works/Things\, Etc.\, 1972\, Situation Publications\, London\, Artist Book and Original Drawing\n			\n				\n				Simon Moretti\, Interlude\, 1999\, Performance\, Platform\, London.
