Courtney Mackedanz: Almost Like A Pasture: Performance
@ Roman Susan
1224 W Loyola Ave, Chicago IL 60626
Opening Saturday, December 2nd, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Sunday, December 3rd
Almost Like A Pasture is a constellation of sculptural props, tactile images, and performance gestures exploring the poetic parallels between people and horses, surveillance and pastures and power as it can be traced through haptic qualities of touch, heat, and friction in such relations.
Courtney Mackedanz is a transdisciplinary artist living and working in Chicago. Her work explores themes of embodied resistance and demonstrations of care within the context of received and embedded choreographic conditions such as wage labor, algorithmic surveillance, or nervous system states. Mackedanz’s practice incorporates critical research, creative writing, collaborative dancemaking, and image/sculptural experimentations to explore how expanded notions of the choreographic might structure, steer, catalyze, and constrain potentials in movement. Mackedanz earned her BFA in Performance and Visual Critical Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2013.
For the performance on December 2, Courtney will be joined by Jasmine Lupe Mendoza and Zachary Nicol.
