PERFORMANCE: Friday July 22 / 6-8.30pm
IMT Gallery/ Unit 2/210 Cambridge Heath Road
London E2 9NQ UK
In their new performance work, TWIST, 2011, Beech and Thomasson focus on the potential performed actions have in displaying meaning and communicating narratives. A Solo performer is observed and later joined by a small group in a movement-based presentation within the gallery space. Meandering between Chiropractory, First Aid and Latin dance, and underscored with live sound construction, Twist presents movement as a form of therapeutic release, a strategy that can be learnt through instruction and performed in the safety of one another’s company.
Two new video works RETREAT (Lucy Beech 2011) and ESCAPE (Edward Thomasson 2011) will be screened as part of the exhibition at IMT alongside this new collaborative performance work.
