Some Perspectives on the Helsinki Biennale 2022
Abstract
A deliberate formation of the first part of my title, with no upper-case letters and no space between the words, indicates a desire to bring the two terms closer together, but without any further amalgamation. They are still recognisable in their original meaning and allowed to flow into each other’s terrain. In this light, I examine performancephilosophy within the context of a third P (Problems), one that served as the focus of the Helsinki conference in 2022. My analysis deals with how key problems were addressed throughout the program in terms of their format and content. Reference will be made to other Performance Philosophy Biennales and Interim events that reflected similar concerns and offered innovative solutions. During the course of this ReView I shall also refer to Roland Barthes’ use of the term “idiorrhythm” in order to give a theoretical slant to my perspectives and to support proposals for the possible implementation of solutions to these problems in the future.
