Juliette Villemin:
MONTE VERITÀ – INTERPRETATIONS OF SPACE

Juliette Villemin’s project investigated the search for new, expanded terms of reference between body and space that crystallised in classical modernity.

The starting point for Villemin’s research was Rudolf von Laban’s dance experiments that emerged in the Monte Verità artist colony from 1913 to1919. Written material and sketches by Mary Wigman, Hertha Feist, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Dussia Bereska, Suzanne Perrottet, Katja Wulff and others enhance the portrait of this period.

Under Villemin’s direction, students from the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design as well as dancers and experts researched points of reference between modern dance and visual art.

Drawings, notebooks, teaching records as well as choreographic sketches by Monte Verità dance creators formed the basis of contemporary translations of the spatial ideals of the time.

In the project documentation (see above), Juliette Villemin talks about the idea behind her project and how it came about. The video also offers an insight into the results, which were presented in a staged spatial installation at Stuttgart’s Heusteigtheater from 26 to 29 June 2014.
