A Spatial-Work in 2 AK-Ts by A K U Z U R U
A New Performance Work at the Perez Art Museum Miami-PAMM April 2014
Her latest
opus in a series of fertility movements, TRANCE –FORMATIONS: Doucement……
l’Eau por L’ORI, represents A k
u z u r u’ s first live performance work
in the United States at the museum. An epic presented in two ak-ts during two
successive days, this new work seeks to embark on a conversation, which
straddles the parallels of spirito-spatial dimensionalities and the
contemporaneous gestures of the human and vast planetary being-scapes.
Employing a somewhat magical realism into the poly-intertwining of her expanded
ak-tion environments- an endeavor which will incorporate several dancers,
horses and the audience in the
equation- various spaces throughout the museum will be utilized as blank pages
of a book where dots rather than words,
blot the pages through an abstract
super-structural narrative. Ak-t 1 Body Aphorisms followed by the second day’s Ak-t 2 The Knowing will involve
an intense outdoor processional engagement of the space followed by indoor
interventions utilizing designated rooms in the museum. Continual protracted
ak-tions will take place during the course of the second day after the main Ak-t
2 performance. The artist asserts that:
‘Trance’
connotes the electro-sensory firing within the corporeal that triggers the
memory space, ak-tivating the potential exchange of ‘knowing’ through this
interaction, unveiling one’s ORI within the conscient-sphere…… a mind-expansion endeavour, whereby, ORI-
Projection establishes one’s reach along one’s meta-journey of advancement.’
