Dancer and choreographer Simone Forti on re-envisioning her relationship to art | ARTIST INTERVIEWS

Renowned artist, dancer, choreographer, and writer Simone Forti was interviewed at the Artforum offices in August 2022. On the occasion of Forti’s participation in the 2024 Venice Biennale, we revisit this talk in which she recalls her transition from Anna Halprin’s studio to Robert Dunn’s music composition class in 1959. She speaks about John Cage, her introduction to conceptual work, and re-envisioning her relationship to art, audience, and skill.
Her work Huddle is being performed at Arsenale Sala d’Armi on April 17, 18, 19 and 20.
