The second installment of this summer series of five multidisciplinary performances aims to answer the questions: What remains after a performance occurs? What happens when a person misses a performance? Can the experience of that performance be recreated and seen in a gallery even if it occurred elsewhere?
Here/Not There stretches something ephemeral -- performance -- into something more lasting. It explores how something can be experienced in one place and yet offer a sense of the experience in another.
Each week in July, a different Chicago artist presents ways to merge the performative and the visual. The initial performances begin on Tuesday evenings at 7 pm after which the remnants, traces, or experiences generated by the artist remain in the gallery through the following Sunday. While the installation is centered in the McCormick Tribune Orientation space, the performance(s) may be located in various spaces throughout the MCA and even the surrounding streets. Some of these performances will occur throughout the week. Using multiple media, each of the five artists demonstrates how performance and visual art can not only coexist but also expand the notions of these often separate fields.
