William Forsythe: The Fact of Matter

Over the past four decades, William Forsythe (born 1949) has created for himself a unique dance world, developing groundbreaking ballet choreographies, experimental dance pieces, digital dance scores and site-specific installations that unexpectedly turn viewers into performers themselves.With The Fact of Matter , Forsythe marks the beginning of a new chapter in his choreographic oeuvre at a fitting an exhibition in a modern art museum, the MMK Frankfurt am Main. Featuring recent work by Forsythe (including a selection of performative objects, video installations and interactive environments) in dialogue with works from the museum’s collection, the exhibition and its accompanying catalogue investigate the threshold between the visual arts and choreography--a line which Forsythe has explored continually in his work.
