William Forsythe: Transfigurations

Event: William Forsythe: Transfigurations
Wexner Center Residency Award

Vanguard American choreographer-and 2002 Wexner Prize recipient-William Forsythe has revolutionized classical ballet for our time with his bold, contemporary works. In recent years with the establishment of The Forsythe Company as an independent platform for his work, he's extended his choreographic thinking into new forms such as installations for gallery and public spaces, video, digital media, and publications. For Forsythe, these projects are part of a larger sphere of interest he terms "choreographic objects."

Transfigurations is the first presentation of a significant body of Forsythe's installation projects in this country. In it, you'll see how the dance maker and performer, developing his concepts through working from the body, is now projecting his ideas into new mediums and new ways of presentation. A highlight of the show is "Monster Partitur," a hybrid performance installation that you can experience during multiple free performances in the gallery itself and as an installation of sculptural elements and text throughout the run of the exhibition. You'll also see four of Forsythe's key video works plus his new web project, "Synchronous Objects for One Flat Thing, reproduced," which Forsythe developed at Ohio State in collaboration with the university's top-rated Department of Dance and Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design.
