This event explores sensory bodily practices and the idea of working with, up to, and including our own limits.
The evening will include screenings of a selection of Carolee Schneemann’s performance films, a live performance of Voicings by artist Florence Peake, as well as a screening of Peake’s work RITE performed at Palais de Tokyo. The evening provides a fresh context for interpreting both Peake and Schneemann’s work, expanding on the connections between these two artists.
A sound performance by artist Hannah Catherine Jones will bring the evening to a close, exploring the limits of language and voice, from the operatic to the guttural. Performed alongside screenings of Schneemann’s films, Jones’ sound will provide a new dimension to her work, and shed new light on both artists’ practices.
