‘How can bodies breathe life into objects? And how can objects set bodies in motion?’ These questions are at the heart of Ruta Butkute’s artistic research, for which she draws on the movement theory of dance pioneer Rudolf Laban. Ruta Butkute is interested in how one medium can transform into another. By working with ready-mades such as chairs, and stripping these of their original function and distinguishability, a new, pure function arises. Made of metal and clay, the sculpture Tumble#8 is a combination of two counterweights that affect each other like mysterious entities. In the exhibition Tumble, Ruta Butkute is presenting a range of installations and sculptures, ceramics, porcelains and a performance video at Movement Exposed Galley Space.
The exhibition is presented in collaboration with Bradwolff & Partners.
