Performance: C. Tai Tai
This performance is part of the exhibition Pawing the Ground in Place featuring new work by Heather Kai Smith and Ali Feser. Feser and Smith use drawing, projection and installation to consider representations of utopian fantasy and longing. They play with material transpositions of photography and, through simultaneous modes of figuration and abstraction, question the associative possibilities in collecting and revisiting images. Pawing the Ground in Place will be further activated and annotated with performances by a wider group of collaborators, including C. Tai Tai and Whitney Johnson (Matchess).
C. Tai Tai is an immigrant artist based in Chicago, with roots in other parts of the US (New York, California), Taiwan, and Latin America. Historically, she performed under the name, Tina Wang. Negotiating a freedom in self expression with the fragility of conformity/belonging are key themes in her work. By inconveniencing the body with burdensome organic and inorganic objects, she challenges assumptions about where these objects belong, who belongs with them, and their relationship to living bodies.
