MPA "Directing Light onto Fist of Father"

Koenig & Clinton

This event has ended.

"Directing Light onto Fist of Father" evolves over three parts:

Part I
Initiation: September 15, 6-8pm
Throughout the exhibition's opening reception, MPA will present the action "Initiation."

Part II
The Act: September 16-November 5
Between these dates, MPA will present a series of unscheduled actions at the gallery.

Part III
Invitation: November 8-12
Including the performance "Revolution. Two marks in rotation" as part of Performa 11.*
Tuesday, November 8, 6:30-7pm (sharp)
* With a working relationship that spans more than 6 years, MPA and Amapola Prada present their first-ever public collaboration. Using materials that include cinderblocks and plate glass, as well as their own bodies, they will seek the edges of antagonism, permissibility, and collaborative movement. The remnants of their performance will be on view in the gallery until the close of the exhibition.

MPA (b. 1980) is a feminist and exhibitionist following a living art practice. Her solo and collaborative works focus on performance often in combination with photography, film, text and sculpture. Enriched with ritual, these acts service a political exercise of the body stimulating questions for participation, resistance and the intimacy between both.
