MEMBRANE VARIATIONS plays with the concept of the membrane – a protective, semipermeable layer between interior and exterior. Expanding outwards from the purely biological, it considers the membrane as a spatial, temporal, and existential phenomenon. Anna Johnson will be joined to activate the installation by Eric Capper, Crystal Myslajek, Zachary Nicol, and castroduperly.
This project features a series of nighttime activations incorporating live expanded cinema projection, sound performance, and movement. Anna and collaborators will perform creative variations devised and experienced through a process of site-responsivity and improvisation which aim to uncover and reveal material membranes latent within the unique architecture of Roman Susan and its surrounding area. Simultaneously, the collaborative nature of these performances explores the membrane as an inter-relational threshold between bodies, space and expression. In this space of symbiotic exchange, MEMBRANE VARIATIONS circulates around questions of (in)-betweenness.
Anna Johnson is an experimental artist working at intersections of performance, sound/musical composition, cinematic moving image and sculptural installation. Her practice explores processes of transformation through emotional and psychological landscapes, made manifest and inhabited within one’s body. She is based in Chicago, IL.
