I love it when they get together like that.
Xavier is credited as being the first artist who took dance movement into museums, into galleries. JOHN KALDOR, KALDOR PUBLIC ART PROJECTS: What I admire about Zavier is that he is breaking down the barriers between dance, movement, performance and visual arts. If you say it is a performance, there is an expectation of when does it start, "Ah, I'm too late," and such things. I call it exhibition in order to point out a form where the public is invited to come whenever they want and leave whenever they want, so the work addresses something that is not asking for a beginning and an end. Here what we do is try to make a situation where you have to step in the landscape, so there is this notion of something unfolding in front of you where the form is transforming, like a landscape would do, like not with a narrative that with an aim to go somewhere, but it just unfolds. XAVIER LE ROY, CHOREOGRAPHER/ARTIST: The purpose of the piece is to produce a situation where we do actions that unfold and transform, one into the other, and they are conceived like landscape. David O'Shea went along to the undressed rehearsal, and a warning, as you might expect, this story does contain quite a bit of nudity. The Australian art philanthropist John Kaldor and the Carriageworks art space in Sydney have commissioned the exhibition.
It involves 18 nude performers interacting with a fully clothed public. It is the latest work of a former French molecular biologist-turned-choreographer and artist Xavier Le Roy. Now a new exhibition is taking the naked form to a whole new level. EMMA ALBERICI, PRESENTER: The nude has been a staple of art for centuries.
