IT Nell’ambito della mostra retrospettiva «I just don’t like eggs!» Andrea Fraser on collectors, collecting, collections, il Festival Transart presenta la performance di Andrea Fraser May I Help You?(1991/2024).
Eseguita per la prima volta in Italia e riattivata all’interno della Collezione Antonio Dalle Nogare, la performance presenta sei diversi modi di relazionarsi con i beni culturali, ciascuno paradigmatico di una specifica classe sociale. Modulando la voce, la postura, il linguaggio e il rapporto con gli spettatori e con le opere d’arte, Fraser evidenzia come la cultura non sia solo oggettivata nelle cose, ma anche incarnata nelle persone. Presentando le dinamiche di affermazione e negazione che definiscono e differenziano queste modalità, Fraser mette in scena la funzione del consumo culturale per esprimere le gerarchie sociali e il nostro senso più intimo del sé.
Evento su prenotazione. I biglietti possono essere acquistati su ticket.bz.it o scrivendo a tickets@transart.it.

EN In the context of the retrospective «I just don’t like eggs!» Andrea Fraser on collectors, collecting, collections, Transart Festival presents Andrea Fraser’s performance May I Help You? (1991/2024).
Performed for the first time in Italy and activated within the Antonio Dalle Nogare Collection, the performance presents six different positions in relationship to cultural objects, each paradigmatic of a different social class. By modulating her voice, posture, language, and relationship to viewers as well as to artworks, Fraser highlights how culture is not only objectified in things but also embodied in people. By performing the dynamics of affirmation and negation that both define and differentiate these positions, Fraser enacts the function of cultural consumption to express social hierarchies as well as our most intimate sense of self.
Reservation only. Tickets can be purchased in advance via ticket.bz.it or booked via tickets@transart.it.
