CHARM APE
ONE NIGHT ONLY!!!!
July 20th, 2013 @ 7pm (performance promptly at 8:30)
From the Creator of Cranky Yellow comes an all new exhibition, myth and performance: CHARM APE!
Viewer discretion is advised. Contains strong language, strange antics and spirit altering magic.
————————————–
I began having the most vivid dreams which intensified into full mythic visions. I found myself identifying with the central figure of this unfolding parable. For the last year I have been capturing these stories through art, symbols and rhythm. Now it is time to share this work.
The art, primarily paintings and sculptures, are coupled with a theatrical performance piece. Enacting transformations or rites of passage humans undergo (universal) and examining the autobiographical (local) narrative of my own history.
This show is ritualistic, primitive and raw. I enter the exhibition not only as the creator but also as the ceremonial participant; the protagonist of this myth. The work contains storytelling, puppetry, rap, electronic music, unicycling, noise, movement, destruction and even a mud rebirth!
Featuring musical collaborations with Ghosts I Have Been, Delch, Bit Bare, Mister Ben (and more TBA)
Additional artistic collaborations with Daniel Shinn, Jennifer Weigel, Lyndsey Scott, Jacob Adams (and more TBA)
