Hopscotch

Hopscotch is a guided tour of artist Richard Venlet's exhibition -it's walls, floors, ceiling and windows. The performance takes the museum visitors on a subjective tour of Venlet's exhibition. Jumping from one piece to another, Sickle evokes the original spaces and contexts in which the works on display were originally installed. Using narrative, gesture and the placement of her body in space, she fully immerses you in a series of locations and time periods like the disjointed narrative of Julio Cortázar's novel.

"Venlet's installations and works seem like narratives composed by some sort of aggregation. The resulting dialectical character of the discourse is replaced by horizontal connections; by encyclopaedias of places, corners, details, mysteriously silent doors. All these elements are separated from their context and acquire a new part in a new plot composed by the artist."
