The work opens with Rachmaninoff’s Ave Maria and transitions into Sköljningsprogrammet, an original composition by William U. A. Mårdberg. Through this symbolic and tender process, the piece explores the fragility and resilience of monogamous relationships — a poetic reflection on care, repetition, and the quiet rituals we enact to preserve intimacy even under mechanical strain. <img width="2560" height="1450" width_o="2560" height_o="1450" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/13acb5aec9d84c2ac1615a9c16c8703c9e913398961e5106f83d045c0d07f040/Skarmavbild-2023-02-16-kl.-09.38.50.png" data-mid="218394521" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/13acb5aec9d84c2ac1615a9c16c8703c9e913398961e5106f83d045c0d07f040/Skarmavbild-2023-02-16-kl.-09.38.50.png" /> <img width="2560" height="1432" width_o="2560" height_o="1432" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8f4196fe3056f69f63ff345924287ad1ee62c7c9df49dfd2aaae0ace58085f04/Skarmavbild-2023-02-15-kl.-14.50.40.jpeg" data-mid="218394512" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8f4196fe3056f69f63ff345924287ad1ee62c7c9df49dfd2aaae0ace58085f04/Skarmavbild-2023-02-15-kl.-14.50.40.jpeg" /> <img width="2560" height="1442" width_o="2560" height_o="1442" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7236d05c9279cf47292ee8ca8f8d8c8747ae9a2c5519146b8dc0c586112f9b98/Skarmavbild-2023-02-16-kl.-09.37.13.png" data-mid="218394525" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7236d05c9279cf47292ee8ca8f8d8c8747ae9a2c5519146b8dc0c586112f9b98/Skarmavbild-2023-02-16-kl.-09.37.13.png" /> https://williammardberg.com/Nuage-Articule Thu, 19 Sep 2024 15:32:24 +0000 WILLIAM MÅRDBERG https://williammardberg.com/Nuage-Articule "Nuage Articulé" Performance and Collaborative WorkMoMA PS1 at Art Basel, Miami, December 2023 Nuage Articulé is a collaborative performance by William Mårdberg and Marie Karlberg, performed by Marie at MoMA PS1 during Art Basel in Miami, December 2023.
