NYAB Event - Georgia Sagri "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is"

Georgia Sagri "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is"

On Stellar Rays

This event has ended.

Georgia Sagri's practice investigates various parameters of language (name-rename); sculpture (extension); imagery (the image when the central object is missing); and performance (composition); often committing her body to mimetic repetitive moves to seduce the viewer while exposing the multitude of associations a simple gesture or word may suggest. Sagri responds to conditions inherent to the performance score, possibly imposed by spatial diagrams and scripts, and antagonizes other conditions that must then be deal with, such as the vital engagement of an audience, rhythmical decisions, passage of time, and issues of translation.

Sagri will perform every day from 11 am – 6 pm, except when she is not. Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is and If Approaching Pain Gives You a Way of Recovering the Memory of Flesh Then Go Elsewhere is Sagri’s first solo exhibition in New York. It is the continuation of a practice committed to the idea of event, and relates to Saloon, an ongoing and nomadic series of gatherings in which Sagri interacts with artworks by two artists, generating performance/sound pieces and investigating possibilities of non-reason, improvisation and antagonism.
