Brunel Seminars 011: Ursula Mawson-Raffalt & Anthony J. Faulder-Mawson “90’ Silence + Activity “

Wednesday March 16th Ursula Mawson-Raffalt & Anthony J. Faulder-Mawson
“90’ Silence + Activity “
4pm Antonin Artaud Building AA103

A performative and exhibitive lecture demonstration that investigates the border territory between the disciplines and experiments with blurring the boundaries between performance, exhibition and lecture.

Ursula Mawson-Raffalt and Anthony J. Faulder-Mawson both direct the
International Platform for Innovation in the Arts. Known particularly for the avant-garde nature of their works, their artistic integrity and unique artistic language, Ursula Mawson-Raffalt and Anthony J. Faulder-Mawson invent means to layer their independent works to form a third entity which is somehow greater than the sum of its parts. Their artistic vision is derived from the view that “ Art is an OPEN SYSTEM that sustains the flow of oxygen and heals and transforms and relates specifically to time, the embodiment of silence and memory and the articulation of contemplative space through movement, text, voice, spatial drawings, light, painting, video, photography, media and sound.

In 1993, when they founded the inter-& cross disciplinary association known under the logo ) + ( = a0, they began a serious, passionate & challenging lifelong collaboration which is rooted in the dialogue about their integrative methods of construction and presentation. Based on their significant groundbreaking methods, both artists have built up, over twenty years, a highly rigorous, complex and responsive working practice in the fields of performing and visual arts. Working as the innovators, creators, artistic directors and producers, they have since created & produced a large body of work - over thirty international projects to date, - conceived for the theatre, exhibition space and for site specific locations which have been shown in Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Israel, the UK and Romania.http://mrplusfm.blogspot.com www.mrplusfm.net
