Mira Dancy “Bodytonic”
Kansas
This event has ended.
KANSAS presents a solo exhibition of Mira Dancy. Opening June 28, the exhibition will run through August 3, 2013.
It’s a messy narrative loaded with cameos.
A fluid she, a statue broken up
won’t be interrupted
or be still, still
I set out to see her. A mythical she.
The seer, the teller, the siren, the body temple
of when I saw her
I thought the thigh of the dancer
is a kind of heart
pumping pulse —
she laughs at you
static
and you feel yourself
cartoon yourself
straining to calculate
whether the word or the wind
is stronger
And which is it you want
at your back?
Which whisper unlocks your sex
with the kind of color that flares from one star
to the next
so many million years late?
