Portrait
Adrien Gaumé aka Sidelaner dedicates to Body-Telling Lab all his energy as a go-between many different background and skills, from empathy to sophrology, with intuition and deep believe in Improvisation as most achieved form of living art in action for stage, and not only there.
His main appreciation is about art of maieutic he feed since he was philosophy and aesthetic student of Jacques Rancières and Alain Badiou writing essay on Mythical and symbolical reasons in the masterpieces of Ernst Cassirer.
Spreading curiosity as a state of mind, breaking rules of predictability seems to be core of his statements. Dialog with context (visible, mindset and memories) is the phenomenologic poetics of space he hunt through is practice.

As a performer, he enlighted many line up during events in bb15 (Linz), Kodo Stage (Athens), Ida Nowhere (Berlin), La Déviation (Marseille) among many others.

​
Born and based in Belgrade where she graduated from The Faculty of Fine Arts, Painting department, and The Faculty of Applied Arts, Interior department. She currently work on PhD project at Faculty of fine arts at The University in Belgrade.
Many solo and group exhibitions, in Serbia and abroad.
Her artwork has been developed on the basis of conceptual praxis from the Great Gallery at the Student Cultural Center (SKC) in Belgrade, in the mid-nineties, at the time of war in the former Yugoslavia.
Her first artworks were ambient installations which created a space of communication, producing interactive paths in a space or sounds to invite the audience…
"In accordance with the ideas I wanted to research, I strived to use the proper media. In that way it can be said that I am like a nomad in the media. After a period of creating large-scale ambient installations, I have started using photography, computer graphics, video, drawing and painting with the aim to approach social topics.
My doodle-like drawings are tool for exploring relations in a group of people I am surrounded by. On the other hand, the practice of photography and video affected storytelling and scenic character of drawings. This gave rise to a series of drawings that were part of the project I am Black But Beautiful, Interact, Body Spasm…
I am currently engaged on the PhD project of research on making clothes and performance after my drawings from a previous exhibition (“I am black but beautiful”, Remont Gallery, Belgrade, 2017) and therefore I am on the journey through European cities after the choreography workshops. I make interviews and make research of a dance, choreography and other artists who I meet through residencies or dance studios explorations."
