PERFORMANCE and CURATION of INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS.
ANIMAL LOVE PROJECT.
works by: Paul Hurley, Joelle Gruenberg, Yuko Kominami and Anushiye Yarnell.
Platforming artists with a diverse range of performance practices examining the continuous flux of human identities though the question of Animal and the anthropomorphic subject of love. The project is committed to the generation of process based performance works which operate as microcosmic evolutions, interrogating the identity of a human being, through the question of Animal and the mysterious, unsubstantial of love.
HEAVENLY LOVE PROJECT.
works by: Davida Hewlett, Shirotama Hitsujiya, Anushiye Yarnell.
platforming Wales Based and International Artists exploring the human perception love and concept of Heaven (a realm beyond dying) breaking into an infinity of confusing, luminosities, possibilities, and perpetual, individual collective worlds. Heaven? meaning? Human beings capacity to believe and to make believe, as if like love, this is the un-material nature of their being.
FUTURE OF LOVE PROJECT
works by: Paul Granjon, Geumhyung Jeong and Anushiye Yarnell.
Platforming contrasting work from 3 Wales based and international artists unravelling the practical, un-predictable, inexplicable and yet ordinary nature of Love, through excavating notions about, and projections into the future. The project is an assemblage counting down premonitions – predictions, and prophecies of the future unpicking the numerics of hope, fear, faith expectation. What territory does the future share with the material yet in- material substance known as love? FOL is a simultaneous unfolding of the irresolvable questions- “When...?”, “How...?”, and “What if…?” through two virtual organisms- LOVE and the FUTURE.
