Dancing Makes Me Joyful

  • Michael Johnson
Coinciding with the 56th Venice Biennale, contemporary artist Lena Liv and dancer/choreographer Lindy Nsingo present Dancing Makes Me Joyful from May 7 - August 15, 2015, at Palazzo Flangini, on the Canal Grande in Venice.

This exhibition was the manifestation of a year-long collaborative effort between the two artists comprised of four multimedia installations and one pastel work by Liv.

There was two opportunities to view a live performance by Nsingo in response to Liv’s pieces: May 7 and May 8. Two monitors were situated in the exhibition space; one depicting Liv’s process as she independently constructs her work, the other as documentation of Nsingo’s performance which initiated this artistic investigation. Neons were also be installed around the city reverberating the name of the show, Dancing Makes Me Joyful.
