demo station: Milano City Ballet – Motion traces

Milano City Ballet presents Motion traces

A moment of research and sharing led by the dancers of Milano Contemporary Ballet. Through movement practices and improvisation, the body becomes a tool for relating to the space and the audience. The activation invites participants to observe and experience the choreographic process as an open experience, in dialogue with the artwork and the exhibition environment.

Text curated by Milano City Ballet.

The event takes place on Rirkrit Tiravanija’s installation untitled 2026 (demo station no. 9). The stage-like structure invites people to “demonstrate” something. The combination of the words demo and station in the work’s title refers respectively to the abbreviation of demonstration—understood both as a protest and as a presentation of someone’s talent or hobby —and to station, that is, an accessible place where such “demonstrations” can occur. For the duration of the exhibition, the installation provides a space for daily public activations.
