February 2016: CHOREOGRAPHY IN STEEL

For this exhibition Alexis Blake and Yeb Wiersma created a performative auction in which they presented smaller works, sketches and personal notes from the archive of Margot Zanstra; a former dancer, choreographer and structuralist sculptor of large, public works who lived in Amsterdam. Unlike most of her male colleagues at the time, she never got the attention or recognition they owned. Therefore the artists decided to re-appraise her works by playing upon the notion of an auction; re-valuing her artistic currency.
