Abstract
Recent years have witnessed a growing interest of visual artists in using dance and choreography in their work. As opposed to the "conceptual" current in conceptual dance in the 1990s, this trend does not transform the practice of dance itself; rather, it introduces dance and choreographic aspects into gallery art.
The trend has attracted deserved attention in the global artworld and has been the subject of several large curatorial projects. This article is intended as an introduction to the topic in the form of case studies of several international artists.
The term "choreographic moment" is meant to address what the author of the article takes to be central to the phenomenon: the application of choreography as a way of controlling body movements against the background of social and cultural memory.
