mute motives

Here's a quick note to tell everyone in town that my collaboration with André Alves ("Silence it is") will be performed at the Semantics Gallery (1107 Harrison Ave.) at 7:30 p.m. sharp.

"Andre Alves' Mute Motives is an investigation around the ideas of intensity, affirmation and power. It proceeds from an interest in juxtaposing visual and non-visual languages (here referring to the non-instrumental musical composition by Jennifer Jolley) and the translation of the tension between the will to say/act and the capacity to do so. Combining a series of delicate monochromatic drawings with a (collaborative) performance entitled Silence it is, debuted at 7:30 p.m. during the exhibition's opening, explores bodily tension, the deconstruction of silence as form, linguistics and sexual phantasmagoria. Through June 25."

If you can't make it out tonight, the video of the performance will run in the gallery until the 25th.

Here's the writeup in CityBeat and on the Semantics blog.
