As part of the current exhibition, With For And Against, Meg Foley will present a series of performances that look at emerging choreographic forms derived from the suggestive, relational textures between bodies and environment. Based in improvisational practice and scoring around immediate and responsive making, the performances act as discrete, material identities in relation to the environment and those watching, including leaving remnants of each performance to accumulate over the course of the exhibition. The choreographic form as altered and altering content comes from the collision of the formal realities of the performance construct with the performers’ shape shifting interior experiences and decisionmaking. The performers practice agency as they navigate intentional relationships that are alive to the present moment and beholden to a larger, potentially arbitrary structure; what is the experiential and choreographic consequence of that?
Performers: Drew Kaiser and Jungeun Kim, aka J.e.
The performance will take place in the gallery at 2pm, preceding a walkthrough and discussion with the exhibiting members.
