Conversation 8PM
Free Admission
Denmark and New York-based artist Joachim Koester (AIR '13) presents Tarantism, a film installation in which performers enact the "dancing cure"an Italian folk method of curing a tarantula bite. Emerging during the Middle Ages, the phenomenon of convulsive, knee-shaking, teeth-grinding dancing was widespread in Italy until the mid 20th century. Koester's work uses the reenactment of the ritual to explore the unconscious and unexplored abilities of the body. Experience a rare viewing of the installation and conversation with the artist; preceded by an Italian-inspired dinner in the Mess Hall.
