  • Two dancers wearing sarongs with bells on their ankles move slowly across Tate Modern's Turbine Hall. They are brushing grains of rice into patterns. They are creating a winding labyrinth-like path.
    The dancers are performers in Lee Mingwei's Our Labyrinth, an artwork that brings a sense of ritual into the museum. It was inspired by Lee's experience of visiting ancient temples in Myanmar, where paths leading to temples are swept by volunteers.
    In this film we meet the artist and introduce his beautiful, participatory works. Lee creates installations exploring issues such as trust, intimacy, and self-awareness. He often takes everyday interactions as his starting point, from eating and sleeping to walking and conversation.

    Our Labyrinth was presented in the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern 26 May - 15 June 2022. It was performed by Ben Ajose-Cutting, Iris Athanasiadi, Rosalie Bell, Yen-Ching Lin, Liu I-Ling, Jean-Gabriel Manolis, Thomas McKeon, Aya Sone, Olivia Thynne, and Wu Cheng-Lung.

    Simple, direct, elegant, ephemeral. Like writing or composing, installation art as the magic of moment-making. Setting a scene in motion that enables performers and audience to weave together a common fabric of unique experience. 😌

    Every brush of the broom laid down is a direct expression of the inner personality of that human being. This is why mark-making can never lie. It will show you your true self.

    What a beautiful performance. Dance, music and costumes are ideal. As a viewer I enter in a peaceful scenario. In a state of calm and total immerse in their dancing movements and interior world. Beautiful as well as Opera songs.

    I love this kind of art, as a celebration and cantillation of Life, of what it is like to be a Human being - and the poetic and magic possibilities of every moment and meeting

    Art is a beautiful thing. A painting or a sculpture is something marvelous, but I love the act of making art and feel that THAT in itself is also an art, it’s not just the canvas and brush that are being used as the creative tool, but the human being. The final product is art, but the process is the art that really calls to me. The movements, the speed, the force, mmmm so yummy. It’s like watching a film unfold but no characters are there to put words to the experience, so your brain starts making its own connections, and what you come away with is this unique relationship between you and this art, which feels like another piece of artistic creation. Inception through art is still like magic to me and I love things like this

    GORGEOUS!!!!!
    How I wish I could experience 'Sonic Blossom'. I'd have bawled and wailed if an opera singer gifted me a song.
    This work is also sensory and calming even through the screen. Surely checking out about this gentle artist.

    In the south-eastern states of the USA, black families would rack their front yards into patterns as they had no grass. Children often did theses patterns. This kind of art is instinctive, world wide.

    • @wanderer9353
      @wanderer9353 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      It is not ankle bracelets - it is Ghungroo (pardon me don’t know the origin) maybe Indian coz classical dancers in India wear it during practice/rehearsal and dance performances. I have only see it being used in Indian classical dances and have never seen any other dance form or country using it. So I was surprised.

    The artwork is beautiful but in effect this is what humans do everyday when we interact with each other and with the planet and universe. And the result can be balance, imbalance, something in between or something that surpasses either extreme (chaos, enlightenment, etc.) or a hybrid synthesis.

    Incase anyone's wondering, the anklets these dancers are wearing are really similar, really identical to what we Indians know as "ghungroo". These are sacred anklets that has little traditional bells woven on a cloth piece that traditional Indian dancers wear while performing dances like "Bharatnatyam". Let these not be called just bells please.

      Not if you are trained in organic movement or trance dancing. It is exhilarating in fact, as the slower you move, the more difficult it can be, so the professional dancer has a total experience also.

    "Artwork" is way too a big word for that. I'd have used different words, which I won't write in order to be vaguely respectful, yet I feel it is my duty to openly disagree with the current trend of defining whatever one does as art.
