The live exhibition “study now steady” at Haus der Kunst presents recent works by Berlin-based artist and choreographer Ligia Lewis, bringing insights into her practice as a key figure in redefining performance in museum and art galleries. Blending the formats of performance, durational live installation and video, three of Lewis’s major works invite us to confront a confluence of processes that disrupt normative conception of the body. At the same time, her work interrogates the traces of family history, memory, and the unknown, often marked by physical and emotional intensities by which comedy and tragedy collide.
