Electromediascope Winter 2011: InsideOut: New Performance Videos
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Ohio, Kansas, 02/11/2011 - 02/25/2011
ABOUT
This group of performance video artworks presents varying intensities of psychological and provocative effects within individual physical bodies as sites of sensual and material expression.
Artists are responding critically and creatively with a new political awareness to global media representation and expression of the subject/viewer becoming performer through interventions into the dimensions of mixed realities.
Larger than life, the empowered performer/subject defies gravity becoming playful and childlike. The psychological boundaries of encounter and confrontation that so often preserve the observed performer as subject and object are becoming heated up or slowed down and forming new aggregate organisms with unlimited potential.
These works often transgress the expected behaviors of anthropological and social subjects while celebrating the body’s sexuality and creative potential for opening new experimental aesthetic experiences and modes for performance.
