Bears in the Park: Close-Up Showing

On November 8th we are hosting two fantastic artists with work-in progress-showings. Imani Rameses and Lucia Rosenfeld are Vienna-based artists who are supported by our Close-Up Research Residency. They have been working in our studios on their current projects First Person Plural and because cracks tell stories. On November 8th from 7pm you are invited to witness their work-in-progress showings. After the showings there will be a short feedback-session with the audience. There is no entrance fee, only bring curiosity.

First Person Plural
In her solo piece, First Person Plural, Imani Rameses takes a much too-long look at herself in the mirror inducing self-binding spells, recursive self-analysis, and unleashing neverending cascades of dichotomies. To get out of this absurd loop of looking, she invites you to journey with her into the mirrored images as she visits and revisits what one calls “one self”. Together, (you and me, she and them) we will attempt to contradict the polarties that prevent us from embracing the multiplicity of selves. First Person Plural is (you and I, her and they) our first attempt to enter a state of syzygy, the alignment of three celestial bodies.

because cracks tell stories
in-between-images appear that tell
stories of the past and the present
weaving through
a landscape of memories
