Douglas Scholes Performance – 4pm Saturday September 21, 2024

Curator Noémie Fortin 

Part of à table faire territoire, RUART 2024

Performance – 4 pm in the greenhouse. Beeswax is the basis for structure within the hive that is strong yet fragile, a maleable material that can change from liquid to solid and back again. Time is the constant in acknowledging transformations observed. The fall equinox offers an opportunity to join in a shared meditation on transformations witnessed within the seasons and over the many lifetimes of sentient beings and places we encounter.

RUART Program Theme – The second edition of À TABLE will explore the notion of territoriality by bringing together a range of artistic and agricultural practices that (re)think our ways of relating to territories, on the surface, in depth and from above. The artists and contributors invited to make territory share a desire to decentralise human beings from history and territory, to decolonise spaces and knowledge while adopting a multitude of viewpoints on the world. Their interests lie at the crossroads of different ways of occupying and using the land, both human and other-than-human. The artistic interventions that punctuate the programme will focus our attention on the interrelationship between the plant, animal and mineral kingdoms, on meteorological phenomena, on ancestral traditions and on contemporary practices that blur the boundaries between nature and culture.

Beyond the geographical, terrestrial dimension, we’ll be making territory with the water, the sky and the relationships we maintain in these places that we inhabit and that, conversely, inhabit us. We will also break up this territory, which cannot be contained on a map or confined by borders. We will create a shared territory, inhabited, alive, on the move, together.
