London and Warsaw-based artist and choreographer Alex Baczynski-Jenkins’ work occurs at the intersection of performance and dance, examining queer politics through ideas of desire, intimacy and love. A central part of his work is the use of performance as an agent for what he describes as ‘other-worlding’. Baczynski-Jenkins’ work is dialogic and he develops vocabularies that range from micro-gestures to poems, social dances and their abstractions. These vocabularies pick apart everyday practices that emerge in situations such as friendship and desire. The Hole Together is the fourth episode of the choreographic work The tremble, the symptom, the swell and the hole together which unfolds over four episodes. The work enacts a choreographic mediation on the relationships between affection, distraction, desire and loss. Each episode has its specific embodied vocabulary through which the performers navigate intimate and fragmentary exchanges, reflecting on the edges of subjectivity, corporeality and relationality.
Alex Baczynski-Jenkins (born 1987, London) lives and works in Warsaw and London. He is co-founder of feminist and queer project space Kem in Warsaw. He has presented works at the Chisenhale Gallery, London, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw, (all 2017) Swiss Institute Contemporary Art, New York, and Muzeum Sztuki, Łódź, (all 2016). Baczynski-Jenkins was UK Associate Artist at Delfina Foundation, 2015 and 2016. He was a fellow at the Home Workspace Program, Beirut 2012/2013.
