Feeling the Blues: Movements One & Two

Movement One: 4’45”, hold (90 mins)
Southwark Park Galleries, 2022

For Movement One an equivalent bodyweight of clay was wrestled through a movement score of 15 wrestling holds over 90 minutes. Each hold was felt-through live, timed at 4’45” by artist Linn Phyllis Seeger, and marked by the exclamation ‘hold’. The pre- and re- mains of this work were on display for the duration of the exhibition.

Movement Two: MAKE ME WET (45 mins)
Copeland Gallery, 2023

For Movement Two the dried body of clay that was wrestled in Movement One was pulverised through the rub and friction of the body. Wearing a suit tailored with frictive materials and working with looping systems, the sounds produced were remixed live by sound artist Lyndon Lewis. This improvised piece worked from a music-movement score of 12 wrestling holds from Movement One. The pre- and remains of the movement were exhibited at Beaconsfield Gallery on both sides of the performance.
