Opening Saturday, July 20th, from 6PM - 7PM
This Saturday 7/20, 6-7PM, Mon corps, Le dernier (My body last)
Chicago, join us for a durational performance by Pierre-Alexandre Savriacouty accompanied by Barédu Ahmed (@bsa.gold)
Staged in a tableau reminiscent of Géricault’s 19th century painting The Raft of Medusa (1818–19), Pierre-Alexandre’s durational performance work Mon corps, Le dernier (My body last) combines references of classical art history alongside gestures of endurance and material symbolism.
The scenography consists of a platform that holds a series of stacked iron radiators, salvaged from buildings across Chicago, beneath a spotlight to compose a contrasting chiaroscuro atmosphere.
Beginning with the sound of whale songs, the performance unfolds against the hypnotic melodies of minor and Levantine improvisations of flautist BSA Gold. Through each, the artist’s body is transformed into a responsive mechanism whose actions are controlled by music.
Experience Mon corps, Le dernier this Saturday at Tala
