The Institute for Embodied Creative Practices is an ambulatory research center employing sensorial methodologies. It was initially a fictional institute conceived by artist Isabel Lewis in 2016 and used as a way to frame her own collaborative artistic research practice. Lewis has since been operating The Institute along with various long-term collaborators under various names, in various places and exploring different formats in art institutions, public spaces, open studios, and educational institutions.
From 24 to 26 of May 2024, The Institute will take form in Zurich at Shedhalle for the second time. It is co-hosted by Shedhalle, local practitioners and (inter-)national students. The format is also inviting a wider interested public. At the center of The Institute lies the engagement with one another’s practices and research topics and methods.
The Institute for Embodied Creative Practices invites you into an ambience dedicated to learning and experimenting with various embodied creative practices. Its aim is to hold space for research on forms of intense aesthetic engagement that address a unified human sensorium. It focuses on practices that operate beyond visually-oriented aesthetics and interweave for example taste, touch, smell, sound, and movement as well as ecological research and a sense of ritual in a contemporary context. Together, these practices’ potentials for reflection and the cultivation of analytic techniques that include sensuality are explored.
