Robert&#8217;s interest in how the body can be personified through materials and the reverse is a force that integrates his longtime work with performance with his larger practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robert has choreographed performance within exhibition spaces, in relation to existing architectural structures, as well as restaging, reframing or sampling historical performances. The frequent citation of moments from art history, film and literature is characteristic of his deeply layered narratives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us at the School of Sculpture, at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art, Tuesday, May 18, at 6pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Registration via info@arthubcopenhagen.dk.
