Artist Talk: Maria Hassabi with Tate Curator Catherine Wood

About

The Strand. Over the years, Hassabi has developed a distinct practice that utilises slowness and stillness as techniques in choreographies that oscillate between dance and sculpture, subject and object, live body and still image. Most recently, she presented her works at K20, Düsseldorf, and Documenta 14, Kassel, where dancers moved their bodies at slow, sometimes imperceptible velocities, enacting choreographic cycles that looped throughout the museum’s opening hours, creating a recurrent form that occupied a specific space and seemingly unbroken time.
