Lovey’s performance uses rhythmic actions and movements to respond to artworks on display

In Rhythmicity Me Christina Lovey uses blocks of wood and her feet to make rhythmic actions and movements that respond to artworks across Tate Britain’s galleries. Through these spontaneous reactions, Lovey aims to create a shared experience between herself, the viewer and the artwork. The performance positions the body as a site for the creation of knowledge.

Lovey finds it easier to take in information if she can make rhythms and sounds. She says, 'By making myself visible as a neurodivergent artist, I intend to challenge preconceptions about how information can be processed. This work doesn’t focus on the learning of a dance or the development of a skill, rather the pure expression of creative joy in response to existing art works.'

This work is part of We Are Invisible We Are Visible which marks the 102nd anniversary of the 1st International Dada Exhibition. Thirty-one d/Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent artists are staging interventions at thirty Plus Tate museums and galleries across the UK. Dada was an art movement formed in response to the horror and recklessness of the First World War.

We Are Invisible We Are Visible channels the defiant and absurdist spirit of the Dada movement, purposefully provoking visitors to reflect on the societal barriers that continue to restrict and exclude disabled people today.
