Artist duo SÖÖT/ZEYRINGER will open their exhibition On time in Hobusepea gallery at 7pm on June 7th, 2017.
Sööt/Zeyringer’s live performances and video works are based on movement and text which are combined in rhythmical and poetic structures. In their work they try to find beauty, poetry, wit and absurdity in every-day acts, language and objects. Sööt/Zeyringer focuses on seemingly self-evident situations that are almost imperceptible, but most of us can identify with. In a poetic and humoristic way the works turn everyday procedures and acts upside down, revealing the performative potential of simple situations. By putting these insignificant moments into a new context, Sööt/Zeyringer‘s work speaks about larger matters.
The show On time combines 3 performative works by Sööt/Zeyringer. At the opening 2 of the pieces are shown as live performances.
Sööt/Zeyringer (Tiina Sööt and Dorothea Zeyringer) is a Vienna based artist duo that col-laborates since 2012 and creates performative work situated at the intersection of visual arts, dance and theatre.
Their works have been presented at brut Vienna, Tanzquartier Vienna, Sõltumatu Tantsu Lava Tallinn, Schauspiel Köln, Kunstraum Niederoesterreich, Vienna and National Dance Center Bucharest among others. They received the ImPulsTanz TURBO residency in 2013, the Tanz*Hotel residency in 2014, the transeuropa Work Residency in 2015 and an appreciation award by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in 2016.
