ONE by Marie-Caroline Hominal

The Invisible Dog Art Centeris housed in a three-story former factory building in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. Built in 1863, our 30,000 square foot facility has been the site of various industrial endeavors, most notably a belt factory that manufactured the famous Walt Disney invisible dog party trick, after which our center is named. The building remained dormant from the mid 1990s until 2009, when our founder Lucien Zayan opened The Invisible Dog.The Invisible Dog is dedicated to the integration of innovation in the arts with profound respect for the past.Here, art and architecture feed off each other organically. The artists who walk through our doors infuse our space with their creative energy and make The Invisible Dog Art Center a unique home for the arts.

The Invisible Dog Art Center

Performance in three chapters staging the fall as a metaphor of life, ONE is also an ingenious frame-within-the frame of the artist’s doubts.It is questioning the economy of a gesture both in its literal and commercial meaning, the ephemeral nature of the movement, and the possibility to “collect” and own it.Through gestures, Marie-Caroline Hominal conjures an absurd auction to reflect and question the commodification of a movement. Commenting on cultural consumerism, ONE incorporates the curator directly into the performance—objectifying and laying bare the role of the artist in relationship to the presenter.Artistic Direction, Conception: Marie-Caroline HominalWith Marie-Caroline Hominal and Joseph Ravens as the auctioneer

About Marie-Caroline HominalMarie-Caroline Hominal lives and works in Geneva. She received her dance education at the Schweizerische Ballettberufschule (ZHDK TanzAkademie) in Zurich and at the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance in London, where she joined the National Youth Dance Company. Thereafter, she worked among others with Gisèle Vienne, Gilles Jobin, La Ribot and Marco Berrettini (with whom she co-choreographed Ifeel2), Tanztheater Basel.Her personal research begins in 2002 around video work, then shifts more decisively towards choreography from 2008 with the solo Fly Girl. In this solo, the dancer oscillates between representations of sexuality and violence in a game of provocations that undermines and multiplies identities. Her artistic practice includes text, drawing, dance, video, sculptures, radio. Close to the field of performance, her works have been presented since 2008 in theaters, museums, art galleries as well as in more atypical places, such as a hotel bedroom, dressing room of theaters, semi-trailer truck, construction site, in all Europe, China, North and South America. In 2017, she began research on the notion of authorship where the established collaboration protocol is the object of the work as much as the form; she invited the theater director and video artist Markus Öhrn for the first piece Hominal / Öhrn (2018), then the performing artist and choreographer Nelisiwe Xaba for the second piece of the triptych: Hominal / Xaba (2019). Sugar Dance, created in 2020, follows the choreographic pieces Ballet #1 (2014), Ballet #2 (2017), Ballet #3 (2019), Parad/isiaque (2019) and Le Cirque Astéroïde (2020), which explore behind the scene, the dynamics of entertainment and theatrical artifices. In 2021, she made Eurêka, c’est presque le titre commissioned by the museum Tinguely and which was part of a terrific tour in museums of Europe.Marie-Caroline Hominal is today one of the major figures of the contemporary choreographic scene in Switzerland. In 2019 she was awarded <a href="https://www.schweizerkulturpreise.ch/awards/en/home/tanz/tanz-archiv/tanz-2019/stp-2019/marie-caroline-hominal.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">“Outstanding Female Dancer”</a> by the Swiss Dance Awards / Federal Cultural Office.
