Originally commissioned for the 2018 Frieze Artist Award, in partnership with the Delfina Foundation, and presented as part of Frieze Projects, curated by Diana Campbell Betancourt. The guest performance in the framework of Queer Darlings #4 is made possible by the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe.

Alex Baczyński-Jenkins is an artist and choreographer engaging with queer affect, embodiment and relationality. Through gesture, collectivity, touch and sensuality, his practice unfolds structures and politics of desire. Relationality is present in the dialogical ways in which the work is developed and performed, as well as in the materials and poetics it invokes. This includes tracing relations between sensation and sociality, embodied expression and alienation, the textures of everyday experience, the utopian and latent queer histories. Baczyński-Jenkins approaches choreography as a way of reflecting on the matter of feeling, perception and collective emergence, while indulging in other ways of experiencing memory, time and change. He is co-founder of Kem, a Warsaw based queer feminist collective focused on choreography, performance and sound at the interface with social practice.
