PERFORMA 2009: Aurélien Froment and Youri Dirkx

Originally aired on Friday, November 27th, 2009

RoseLee Goldberg talks with artist Aurélien Froment and actor Youri Dirkx about their performance In Order of Appearance. The presentation takes place within an abstract playground where objects and artworks are transformed. Froment fills the performance space with objects then handled by actor Dirkx. Froment, French-born living in Dublin, explores how the periphery of display systems operate, from the gallery to the screen to books to theatre. Dirkx is a member of the Brussels-based theater company Tristero (28 minutes).
