3. The many faces of the self 28 boulevard the Waterloo, Brussels, Belgium
Works from the Stjarna Collection, curated by Ars Belga 19 April - 19 May 2023
A collaboration between artist Reza Aramesh and dancer Joshua Smith connecting two significant
events that happened in 1967. Reza Aramesh’s sculpture: Site of the Fall - study of the renaissance
garden - Action 180 is a depiction of subjected body sourced from reportage images of the Viet-
nam war referring to a particular event that took place at 9:15 am, Sunday 28th May, 1967. Around
the same period, Merce Cunningham created a dance piece titled ‘Scramble’ to explore the infinite
possibilities of movement that the human body can possess. Reza Aramesh and Joshua Smith will
be producing ‘Scramble’ in the presence of Action 180, at Bury Court next to the Gherkin, opening
up the dialogue between these two events.
