Sonnabend, 12. März 2016, 19:00 Uhr. Finissage mit Live-Performance, zur Kunst-Ausstellung: "Too Excitable; it's Winter Here".
/Sat March 12, 2016, at 7pm: Finissage with art performance: Emily Perry (UK).
Emily Perry reflects on the relationship between appearance and the physical and social constraints that determine identity, responding to identified pressures and stereotypes through a gendered and cultural lens. Her use of humour engages her audience in the moment, making them consider aspects of sexuality, personality and the experiences of other people.
Perry is particularly interested in interactive performance work that relies on audience participation; she believes that the potent intimacy of actual participation better engages the viewer, and pushes them to a fuller understanding of the work. She creates often uncomfortable, socio-artistic situations which force interaction in subtle and frequently humorous ways. These experiences are not just for the audience but for the art work itself. By using people as a raw material in her practice, Perry confronts the role of the spectator: both sculpture and gallery visitor become the subject, the viewer and the viewed.
Too Excitable; it’s Winter Here consists of performance installations, photography, film and sculpture. Performances will take place at the vernissage, finissage and performance evening. Original photographs and sculpture, plus postcards will be for sale. There will be live music at the vernissage and finissage.
