Benjamin Richter: TAKTiL
Saturday, 18.11.23
11:30
Märkisches Museum Witten, Husemannstraße 12, 58452 Witten
In the performance TAKTiL Benjamin Richter juggles sculptures that seem to expand in time. The audience is given time and space to let images and stories emerge. 40 white wooden blocks, a stone, a wine glass, a rope and a juggler with their different characteristics form the starting point of this performative journey. As in a living exhibition, the audience is kindly included by the artist in this creative expedition.
