MEET the ARTIST: dance artist Eszter Salamon in lecture-performance on life and work of seminal avant-garde choreographer Valeska Gert and possible connections between the works by Evelyne Axell, Valeska Gert and herself. Examining artistic stances and practice of Gert’s, Eszter Salamon reflects on filming her new project inside Evelyne Axell exhibition and how it brings the chance for creating transgenerational connections and drawing a feminist genealogy - both the important questions of Eszter’s own artistic practice.
