sophiajacob presents a night of performances 
Organized by Elspeth Walker
Saturday, September 7. 8-11pm
Floristree

From their press release:

Please join us at Floristree on September 7 between 8-11 pm for a free event and one night installation featuring a program of performances that overlap, erupt spontaneously, and come together to construct an unconventional landscape. Performers will collaborate in building a space that is easily dismantled, temporary, utopic and unsustainable. The program will feature live performance, durational action, live streaming and pre-recorded video, and works in which the body may be present or absent. In contrast to the anonymity associated with sophiajacob’s concurrent gallery installation, this event presents a chance to highlight the persona, identity, and presence of the artist.

sophiajacob’s current programming seeks to create a web of collaborators connected by this trifecta of projects, thereby developing overlap, relation, and confluence while seeking to destroy an indication towards a concrete, understandable, or straightforward persona of the artist.

An accompanying compilation text will be available for takeaway at this event.

Featured artists:
Mehron Abdollmohammadi, Noel Freibert, Brian Letchworth, Chloe Maratta, Hanna M. Owens, Pontius Piglet, Nikholis Planck, Harrison Tyler, Velvet, Alex Franz Zehetbauer
