The KCAI Crossroads Gallery: Center for Contemporary Practice presents, The Performative Loom: sound, rhythm and experimental making, a collaborative project shared between the KCAI Fiber Department led by Pauline Verbeek-Cowart, students in Advanced Audio-Vision led by Dwight Frizzell, and students in Space Between Papers led by Marie Bannerot McInerney.
Taking into account the experiential relationship between academia, art, community, and labor that took place during the experiment of the Black Mountain College and the interdisciplinary nature of the Bauhuas model, The Performative Loom: sound, rhythm, and experimental making is a collaborative project that hosts various large scale methods of fabrication with linear elements while activating the human body as the central tool. Participants will undertake a series of choreographed movements in response to soundscapes and instruments created with handmade paper to construct large scale sculptural objects.
Students who participated in the ideation, creation, and/or performance include: Fannie Berlau, Ari Bonner, Nina Burton, Michelle Chan, Lizzie Christie, Olivia Clanton, Lizbeth Contreras, Arden Cook, Josie Eckerman, Zak Engelken, Lila Ferber, Chase Ford, Rowen Foster, Rebecca Gemeinhardt, Lizzie Green, Rosemary Hall, Willow Hardman, Emily Harrison, Nicole Hartman, Suzanna Haydt, Matthew Johnson, Minji Kim, Merrick Knudsen, Diana Lerma, Bee Little, Nina Littrell, Kylie McConnell, Xiaolei McKean, Abby Miller, Sydney Mortara, Maddie Murphy, Morgan Nix, Maddie O’Connor, Glitch Perry, William Plummer, Kelly Runningen, Ren Seitz, Natalie Spicker, Jordan Tanner, Sebastian Thomas, Anna Van Gheem, Megan Videmschek, Tamara Walker, Lulu Wang, Cassandra Wegenka, Courtney Whitaker, Rakel Wyatt, and Rebecca Yoo
