Burgoyne, Greig
Description/Abstract:

At the invitation of the Kunsthallen Bochum and PAErsche, the Cologne-based international performance art network, Burgoyne responded with two works Spaceman, a performance, and Spacetime, a series of performative sculptural gestures.

In both, the aims are to simultaneously measure and make space. In the former, Burgoyne becomes the space around him, in Space time the space measured he seeks to erect in the site.

As the accumulation of uncharted territory evolves, Burgoyne's gestures and dimensions take on the characteristics akin to some kind of absurd sumo wrestler/ come astronaut moon walk. In Spacetime the attempt to get a material to reach the limits of the site, results in the remnants of that immersion in the entropic verging on the pathetic.
