Please join us on October 18th, at 17:30-20:30, for Scores for Daily Living, as part of the group exhibition Critical Shifts curated by Margarita Osepyan, Maria Korolkova and Kate Umnova.

‘Emma Waltraud Howes’ ongoing performance series ‘Scores for Daily Living’ explores the choreography of space as a system of perpetual motion and negotiation. Drawing from architectural plans of the Kunstverein am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Berlin, Howes’ work blurs the lines between body, space, and social structures, creating an intimate, cathartic interplay where movement becomes a mode of spatial reconfiguration. Such choreography of space is a system of constant shifts between spatiality and movement, movement and form, human and social-living space, in the artist’s words an ‘intimate negotiation between bodies and the structures that contain them’.
