And And And—Stammering: An Interview
@ Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago
Online
Opening Saturday, August 22nd, from 12PM - 1PM
**This event will be hosted on Zoom on August 22.
To be selected as a potential interviewee, please email publicprograms@mcachicago.org with the subject heading And And And—Stammering: An Interview.**
As part of the exhibition, “Alien vs. Citizen,” join us for a performance in the format of an interrogation that explores the process one would experience in attempting to become a US citizen. And And And—Stammering: An Interview (2020) is an ongoing performance and installation project that draws upon complex questions of immigration, exclusion, and the performance of belonging. In this event, artists Hương Ngô and Hồng-Ân Trương’s directly engage a randomly selected audience member, while also prompting all audience members to imagine their own responses.
This performance will take place on Zoom. Attendees of this event are invited to choose between being part of two levels of participation: a group of visible witnesses with the possibility of being the selected interviewee, or a group of anonymous observers.
