William Forsythe is considered one of the most important and innovative choreographers of contemporary dance today. Earlier, as director of the Ballett Frankfurt and now with The Forsythe Company he has repeatedly dared to transcend the borders of his genre, and in doing so has received international recognition. He has set new parameters for the performing arts on all the major stages of the world, significantly expanding the conventions of how his field is perceived.
In this exhibition Forsythe presents new installations and films that are experienced by the visitor as choreographic spaces by virtue of their location in the rooms of the foundation. A cross between performance, installation, and dance, the exhibition presents a complex examination of not only space and the body but specifically the practice of choreography itself and the strategies of staging.
