"Saturday Sessions: Jibade-Khalil Huffman, Desi Santiago" Performance
MOMA PS1
This event has ended.
Jibade-Khalil Huffman presents Monster Island Czar, an epic poem that takes the form of a slide show. A poet and a photographer, Huffman’s interdisciplinary approach invites notions of chance and indeterminacy by allowing the projectors and computers to run at different speeds and create different combinations of words, images, and sounds. With the Dadaists and William S. Burroughs cut-ups in mind, Huffman’s performance interweaves visual art and literary tradition.
Desi Santiago is a New York-based visual and performance artist and is a member of the dance group Escandalo. His large scale installations and performances often engage the collaboration of musicians, burlesque and dance performers, light shows, and elaborate costumes that he designs. Using scaffolding to create both a theatrical stage and layering of actions, Santiago’s performances draw on various New York scenes including club, fashion, art, and house music, creating ceremonial experiences from their respective vocabularies and iconography.
