Celebrating the 2024/25 nominees of Premio Vienna – The Italien Performance Art Award

Welcoming Gaia Ginevra Giorgi and Francesco Corsi

The Angewandte Performance Laboratory (APL) and the the Italian Cultural Institute in Vienna extend an invitation to an event celebrating the winners of the PREMIO VIENNA – PERFORMANCE ART AWARD. The evening will feature Gaia Ginevra Giorgi and Francesco Corsi. Premio Vienna is a collaborative project between the Italian Ministry of Culture, the Italian Cultural Institute in Vienna, and the University of Applied Arts Vienna to foster exchange between Italy and Austria within the European performance art scene. During the course of the event, Gaia and Francesco will introduce themselves and their artistic works to a broader audience.

Gaia Ginevra Giorgi is inviting us to a listening session to encounter her artistic practice of writing, sound composition and performance, which oscillates between autobiography, archaeology and imagination. During her residency in Vienna, Gaia will engage with vocal archives, investigating psychoacoustic and mediumistic phenomena. Through techniques of embodiment and self-induced trance states, she will explore glossolalia and otherworldly voices vocally and corporeally.

Francesco Corsi, who works between choreography, performance and visual art, will introduce his new research, inspired by Adriana Cavarero’s Critique of Rectitude. During his residency in Vienna, he will compose a cartography of postures, focusing on its ethical inscriptions on the flesh, departing from the deconstruction of a vertical body and its claim to an autonomous subjectivity – incarnated in the figure of the soldier.
