Showing as part of the residency program »Post-Genre«
Schwankhalle is pleased to announce the launch of »Post-Genre«, an international residency program in collaboration with the Städtischen Galerie Bremen ↗. The residency, led by the artist and choreographer Renen Itzhaki, is aimed at multidisciplinary duos from outside Germany with an emphasis on performance, visual, and time-based art. The first artists selected through an open call are Nitish Jain and Magdalena Malinová, a Prague-based duo working at the intersection of stage design, theatre, and participatory performance. In February 2025, they will be hosted by Schwankhalle for a month-long stay, during which they will develop their current performance »In All Its Glory«. On February 27th the duo will share the results of their residency in a public presentation at the Städische Galerie.
Nitish Jain, an India-born artist based in Czechia, works across architecture, performance, storytelling, and object-making. Trained as an architect and scenographer, he creates multisensory experiences, engaging audiences through touch, taste, smell, sound, and vision. Drawing from Indian rasa aesthetics and phenomenology, his work explores fatigue, rest, post-coloniality, and the climate crisis, fostering connections between human and ecological wellbeing.
Magdalena Malinová, a graduate of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, is a dancer, performer, and researcher. Her work explores rest, morning rituals, and somatic experiences, using the body’s sensory and fictional resources to communicate with the unseen. She draws strength from hospitality and culinary practices, fostering care, togetherness, and slowness as vital tools for resilience in today’s fast-paced world.
