Yael Davids: One Is Always a Plural
Yael Davids in dialogue with works by Eleanor Antin, Phyllida Barlow, Heidi Bucher, Teresa Burga, Graciela Carnevale, Hanne Darboven, Marlene Dumas, VALIE EXPORT, Guerrilla Girls, Graciela Guti茅rrez Marx, Ferdinand Hodler, Dorothy Iannone, Teresa Margolles, Senga Nengudi, Henrik Olesen, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Cathy Wilkes, and others from the collection of the Migros Museum f眉r Gegenwartskunst as well as loans from the Noa Eshkol Foundation for Movement Notation and Jon Mikel Euba.
The artist Yael Davids鈥檚 (b. Jerusalem, 1968) installations and performances engage with the body as a place where personal and collective narratives intersect. For the exhibition project One Is Always a Plural, she arranges works from the Migros Museum f眉r Gegenwartskunst鈥檚 collection in dialogue with her own sculptural creations and installations. Selected works from the collection also serve as foundation for the development of performances and a series of practice lessons based on a method by Mosh茅 Feldenkrais. The audience is cordially encouraged to actively participate in these classes.
Yael Davids explores the potential of performative strategies and somatic techniques as alternative approaches to art. The artist鈥檚 practice facilitates a comprehensive bodily experience that transcends visual perception and rational understanding. The Felden-krais method is based on the slow, deliberate, and conscious execution of individual movement sequences. It helps us understand our own (movement-)habits, recognize potentials for change, and internalize alternatives. Mosh茅 Feldenkrais emphasized the central importance of creating a suitable and supportive setting for learning processes. Yael Davids similarly seeks to establish the museum as a place of communal learning鈥攁 body-oriented, 鈥榦rganic鈥� learning defined by curiosity and openness.
