Daniel Jaber and Lee Weng Choy
Tarntanya-based Dancer and choreographer Daniel Jaber and Kuala Lumpar-based art critic Lee Weng Choy join Samstag Associate Curator to discuss Jaber’s dance trilogyRite,RotandDirtperformed at Samstag Museum of Art in 2022 and explore the nature of engagement from afar.
“When Samstag approached me about writing on Daniel Jaber’s trilogy of performances, we decided upon a pair of conversations and a podcast with Daniel. I asked friends and colleagues Aminah Ibrahim and Denise Lai to join me in a discussion of Daniel’s work—or, more accurately, photo-documentation from the museum. For our first exchange, onRite, our conversation was framed by the fact that we three were seeing it from a distance—we live in Kuala Lumpur—and not only would we be looking at the performance solely through images and well after it had taken place, but cultural and geographical differences might also factor into our responses as well. For our second conversation, focusing onRotandDirt, while we three still worked with only photo-documentation for our visual materials, we were joined by Anna Zagala from Samstag".— Lee Weng Choy
