A NEW HOME

As Portland Institute for Contemporary Art turns 21, we were just handed a key: a ritual symbol of new beginnings that will unlock the door to our future.

PH OTO BY S E AN S C H U MAC H ER ⁄ PI CA

Thanks to the generosity of Allie Furlotti and the Calligram Foundation, we are setting down roots in NE Portland. We want to invite you to our new home at 15 NE Hancock for TBA:16. After two decades of carving out space in a city that is changing under our feet, PICA has a home—a permanent home— that is big enough to house our dreams and stable enough to launch them. We have always been an itinerant program, reaching out across boundaries, inhabiting different venues throughout Portland, and we will continue to program events across this city. But, with this building, we will have new opportunities to create a vibrant, long-term hub for artists, audiences and our community. We will be able to fulfill our creative ambitions while nurturing the soil in which artists from around the world can fertilize their artistic vision. We will bring our passion and commitment to an exciting neighborhood in partnership with current residents, to make Portland’s close-in Eastside the center of a bold, creative renaissance.

We welcome you into the 14th edition of the Time-Based Art Festival as we celebrate this auspicious moment in PICA’s history. We inaugurate our new home with a spirit of optimism and experimentation and invite you to immerse yourself in the imaginations of these artists who are defining our time. The TBA Festival is our annual gathering of art and ideas—a coming together of diverse aesthetics and perspectives reflecting our current cultural and political moment. This convergence feels more urgent than ever right now. The values of TBA stand emphatically in opposition to the fear-inspired, narrow-mindedness and isolationism permeating this time. Now, more than ever, we must create physical and ideological spaces that embrace diverse identities, invite new experiences, and value freedom of expression. TBA does just that. This year, we’ve invited an extraordinary group of artists who defy categorization and evoke response. The works explore complex identities, celebrate possibility, and acknowledge the fragility of human existence. TBA:16 opens with an epic music ritual entitled Fanfare: Birth > Rebirth, a celebration of new life and possibility. Britt Hatzius’ Blind Cinema asks the audience to see the world through the eyes of a child. Alessandro Sciarroni’s UNTITLED_I will be there when you die, makes you see the form of juggling in a completely new way, and poignantly asks us to stay in the present, together. We emphasize TBA as a site for inquiry and exchange. In that spirit, we welcome ten artists from all over the globe into residence through our Creative Exchange Lab. We have also invited six Guest Scholars to immerse themselves in TBA for engaging conversations with artists and audiences focusing on new feminist performance, and complex themes around the intersections of race, gender, nationality, sexuality, and the body. We are inspired by the creative energy of this city and are committed to ensuring generous spaces for expression, experimentation, and large-scale community gathering. Let’s embrace and explore this festival together!

MAKEUP ON EMPTY SPACE CURATED BY KRISTAN KENNEDY

A.K. BURNS BUNNYBRAINS KEIJAUN THOMAS DYLAN MIRA

Support for Makeup on Empty Space is provided by PICA’s Visual Art Circle: Jeanine Jablonski, Founding Chair; Dan Winter, Founding Co-Chair; John Forsgren; Allie Furlotti; Katherine Gentry; Linda Hutchins and John Montague; Sarah Miller Meigs; Topher Sinkinson; Stephanie Snyder; Jeff Stuhr and Peter Kalen. PICA’s Visual Art Circle is a group of patrons providing dedicated support for visual arts programming year round. For more information about PICA’s Visual Art Circle or to learn how to become a member, see pg 113. Additional support for PICA’s visual art programs provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the Oregon Arts Commission, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Here we are, on the cusp of a new space. It is empty, and we have to fill it. Or, it is full, and we have to empty it out? It doesn’t (dark) matter either way, it is there, and the artists will do as they please. There have been many debates about where to draw the lines and boundaries in this space: what is visual, what is performative, what is anointed, what is new, what is mainstage, what is centerstage, what is not “of” stage at all? These debates parallel those in the art world, the same world we simultaneously work for and against, the one we are trying to evolve. In this year’s guidebook we chose not to draw distinctions between genres. This is not a disclaimer; it is a position. I would say this is at the core of our curatorial mandate. She does what she wants. She being all things but especially that which changes the space just by considering the opportunity to do so. Our programming, our festival, and our new building make up this “new space.” It is a body with concrete bones, a place to find art, ideas, and each other. PICA’s floating heart and brain have been searching for this body for a long time. In this body we will not rest, we will not wall the stuff of art in, we will not keep it orderly and clean, we will not abide by terms and boundaries that have long ago lost their meaning, we will not lock anybody or anything in. We will continue to respond to what artists are making in the moment. Our bodies old and new cannot contain us. Our bodies take us places. We will go with the flow. Makeup on Empty Space presents themselves as an exhibition inside of a festival. A body within a body. The video essays, installations, materials, and happenings of this exhibition are performing Ma (間). There is no negative space or in between, there is only progression, interval, and relationship. When that space is a person it comes and goes. When that space is a room of images and sound, it stays for a while. We can’t change that, we can’t curate that, we (as in the artists, you, and I) can just consider the substance of space.

four-channel video installation drawing on theater and documentary methods to rework the genre of science fiction. The title, A Smeary Spot, is a references to the sun borrowed from feminist sci-fi writer Johanna Russ. The sun, a dense concentration of heat and light, is an organizing principle of time, place, and ego. What potential emerges when we glance away from the source and settle into the blurry residue of the afterimage? This work re-orients the audience within a speculative present. Shot in two locations: on public lands in the deserts of southern Utah and inside a black box theater, where performers deliver recitations of appropriated and altered texts that compose a loose manifesto on being. Inside this cinematic experience is a surreal narrative of bodies in transition (both movement and definition) that act out—delivering curious combinations of language, materiality, and gestures. Among these bodies, the land, the water, the refuse pile, and the theater are not simply grounds, resources, waste, or stages upon which these actions occur, they are sprawling protagonists, like the sun—permeating and persistent. A.K. Burns is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Burns is currently a 2016–17 Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard University, where she will be developing the long term project, Negative Space, a cycle of multimedia installations. The opening episode from this cycle of works, A Smeary Spot, debuted at Participant Inc., NY, in the Fall of 2015. The work was initiated with the generous support of a 2015 Creative Capital Foundation Visual Arts Award. Additional support for the forthcoming episodes of Negative Space is being provided through the Education Department’s Spring 2017 Research & Development Season at the New Museum, where Burns is also currently in residence. The residency will culminate with an exhibition opening in January 2017. Burns is a founding member of W.A.G.E (Working Artists in the Great Economy), an artists’ advocacy group that most recently developed W.A.G.E certification and fee calculator both launched in 2014. A Smeary Spot was created with the support of Creative Capital.

Dan Seward, also known as Bunnybrains, is a musician, curator and promoter in Hudson, New York, where he runs the celebrated (and somewhat nomadic) record store, John Doe Records. This exhibition focuses on Bunnybrains’ thirty plus years as a transgressive, mutable, collaborative, performative project and what it means to illustrate the life of a true muse. From live broadcasts of Bunnybrains radio show Battlefield Earth, participatory workshops, rotating guest exhibitions, spontaneous happenings and performances, the artist shares their space with you in an effort to vivify “Bunnybrains is all.” Bunnybrains’ career highlights include a vinyl only pressing with Matador, a national tour supporting Devendra Banhart, a four-CD boxset that garnered raves from the indie press, and opening for a reunited Hawkwind—a set credited with giving the many hippies in attendance bad trips.

W E S T C O A S T P R E M I E R E : Within the galleries of the

Portland Art Museum, Morgan Thorson stages an ensemble dance cycle that uses time as both subject and practice to process killing, extinction, and loss. Exploring both the vast span of geological time and the brevity of a single human life, Still Life considers both the long-ago, as represented by the museum artifacts and dioramas, and the immediate reality of violence and natural disaster. The piece enacts the death of choreography by erasing elements of the performance; with each repetition of the cycle, something is lost— a dancer, a sequence, or sound. While the audience is welcome to come and go from the intimate space of the performance, the long-form choreography investigates dance as a living and dying thing, as well as a practice in comfort and survival. Thorson is a 2016 Doris Duke Performing Artist awardee and a PICA Creative Exchange Lab resident. As a choreographer and performer, she draws from a spectrum of approaches to create her dances, which include Faker (2006), Docudrama (2008), Heaven (2010), Spaceholder Festival (2012), and YOU (2014). In 2015, Thorson was featured in Local Time, a three-month visual art exhibition at the Weisman Art Museum. She is the recipient of fellowships from United States Artists (2012), the Guggenheim (2010), the McKnight Foundation (2002, 2009), as well as two Sage Awards for Outstanding Choreography. Currently, Thorson is a Creative Campus Fellow at Wesleyan University, where she works across Dance, Archeology, and Religious Studies. This project is made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with additional support from the National Endowment for the Arts; and is supported, in part, by the Contemporary Art Council and Exhibition Series Sponsors of the Portland Art Museum. This project is made possible in part by support from the National Performance Network (NPN) Performance Residency Program.

“…the joy of being alive, of being together momentarily, and the visceral excitement of dancing.” — L E M O N D E U S P R E M I E R E : 2004, Istanbul. A few minutes before the end of a performance, out of nowhere, a group of men erupt on stage, break out into a very short folk dance, and then immediately disappear. The powerful memory of this traditional dance leads French choreographer Christian Rizzo on a bold and hypnotic exploration of masculine ritual. Stepping onto a stark white stage, the eight dancers are propelled by two live drummers. Their undulating movements build into frenetic bursts of dance that recall the centuries-old dances of the Mediterranean turns tender and vibrantly joyful, the allmale ensemble rides the tension between folkloric practice and formal contemporary performance, building a communal, visceral force. Born in Cannes, Rizzo took his first steps as an artist in Toulouse, where he started a rock band and created a line of clothing before studying visual arts at the Villa Arson in Nice. In the ’90s, he performed with and created costumes and soundtracks for choreographers including Mathilde Monnier, Hervé Robbe, Mark Tompkins, Georges Appaix, Vera Mantero, Catherine Contour, Emmanuelle Huynh, and Rachid Ouramdane. Since founding “l’association fragile” in 1996, he has created over 30 performances and dance pieces, alternating with other projects or commissions for fashion and visual arts. He was an artist-in-residence at l’Opéra de Lille, and has performed his works around the world at the Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon, the Nouveau Festival du Centre Pompidou, deSingel, the Festival d’Avignon, and On the Boards. On January 1, 2015, Rizzo took over as the Director of the Centre Choréographique National de Montpellier Languedoc-Roussillion-Midi-Pyrénées, which has been renamed ICI (International Choreographic Institute). Supported by the Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF) and the National Endowment for the Arts. Supported by FUSED: French-US Exchange in Dance, a program of the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States, and FACE Foundation, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the Florence Gould Foundation, and the French Ministry of Culture and Communication.

WEST COAST PREMIERE: Bulgarian performer Ivo Dimchev is known for breaking taboos in his provocative and boldly physical pieces. While his work blends performance art, dance, theater, and visual art, Dimchev’s enormous musicality and his remarkable vocal gift are at the center of each of his productions. For this live musical event, he has selected 15 songs from his past performances to present as independent, individual opuses. Accompanied on the piano by Dimitar Gorchakov, Dimchev displays his prodigious talent in a stirring concert that leaps between the feral and the virtuosic. Dimchev is the author of more than 30 performances. He has received numerous international awards for dance and theater and has presented his work across Europe, South America, and North America. He has led master classes at the National Theater Academy in Budapest, the Royal Dance Conservatory of Belgium in Antwerp, Hochschule der Künste in Bern, Switzerland, DanceWeb in Vienna, Giessen University in Germany, the Bremen Academy of Art, and other institutions. Dimchev is the founder and director of the Humarts Foundation in Bulgaria and organizes an annual competition for contemporary Bulgarian choreography. Dimchev is currently an Artist in Residence at Kaaitheater in Brussels. In 2014, he opened MOZEI in Sofia, Bulgaria, as an independent space for presenting contemporary art and music.

Wearing mask and merkin, Narcissister’s spectaclerich live performances tackle issues of gender, racial identity, and sexuality. Humor, pop songs, elaborate costumes, contemporary dance, unabashed eroticism, and her trademark mannequin mask are her tools in deconstructing stereotypical representations and challenging the audience to question its own attraction and repulsion. Rather than abandon the contaminated site of sexual fetish, Narcissister dives headlong into the murky depths of fantasy and its racist and gendered dynamics, exposing and deconstructing their power. Narcissister is a Brooklyn-based artist and performer whose work spans performance, video art, experimental music, and photography. She has presented work at The New Museum, MoMA PS1, The Kitchen, Abrons Art Center, and at many nightclubs, galleries, and other alternative art spaces. Narcissister has also presented her work internationally at the Music Biennale in Zagreb Croatia; at Chicks on Speed’s Girl Monster Festival; at The City of Women Festival in Ljubljana, Slovenia; and at the Camp ⁄ Anti-Camp festival in Berlin, among many others. Her art videos have been included in exhibitions and film festivals worldwide, including on MOCATV. Her film, The Self-Gratifier, won “Best Use of a Sex Toy” at the 2008 Good Vibration Erotic Film Festival and her film, Vaseline, won the main prize in 2013. Interested in the troubling divide between popular entertainment and experimental art, Narcissister appeared on America’s Got Talent in 2011. Narcissister had her first solo gallery exhibition, Narcissister is You, at envoy enterprises in February 2013. She was nominated for a 2013 Bessie Award for her evening-length piece, Organ Player, and has received awards from Creative Capital, Theo Westenberger, and United States Artists.

A weekend-long, build-it-ourselves outdoor modern art museum, artist Libby Werbel orchestrates an exhibition in the heart of the city, inviting an impressive roster of performers to engage with the space. PMOMA draws a direct link between Portland’s lack of a major contemporary art museum and the impressive output of our creative community. Do Portland’s quickly shifting economic demands endanger the cultural equity essential to maintaining the quality of any major city? Is it possible to have a museum without an established infrastructure to support it? What does a museum look like when fashioned through our ideal ethical processes? Werbel hopes to inspire dialogue around the notions of the ‘museum’ itself and larger institutional modalities for exhibition. Throughout the weekend of September 10th and 11th, PMOMA partners with PICA and the Houseguest Residency program to investigate these ideas in Pioneer Courthouse Square. Founded in 2012 by Libby Werbel, Portland Museum of Modern Art is an investigative project focused on the lack of major contemporary and modern art institutions within a growing metropolis. PMOMA has produced more than 50 exhibitions and events within the context of a selfactualized and community-grown modern art museum.

U S P R E M I E R E : In the darkness of a cinema, the audience sits blindfolded. Behind each row of audience members is a row of local schoolchildren— aged 8 to 11—who narrate a film only they can see. Accompanied by a wordless soundtrack, the children’s whispered descriptions form a fragile, fragmentary, and at times struggling but courageous attempt to find words for what is projected on the screen. Blind Cinema is a collaborative and imaginative act that embraces the limits of language and asks us to quite literally see the world through the eyes of a child. Britt Hatzius works in film, video, sound, and performance, exploring ideas around language, interpretation, and the potential for discrepancies, ruptures, and (mis ⁄ )communication. Her work has been shown internationally at galleries, institutions, and performance and media arts festivals. Recent collaborations include the cinematic installation Micro Events (2012) with Tom Kok, the interactive performance This Is Not My Voice Speaking (2013) with Ant Hampton, and a site-specific installation As Never Before, As Never Again (2014) with Ant Hampton. Blind Cinema is a co-production between Vooruit (Gent), Beursschowburg (Brussels), and Bronks Theatre (Brussels). This edition of Blind Cinema is presented in partnership with Portland Public Schools (PPS), with the collaboration of Boise-Eliot ⁄ Humboldt School and King School. Special thanks to Kristen Brayson, Kevin Bacon, Jill Sage, and participating teachers at PPS for their enthusiastic support of this project.

09 P I C A C O M M I S S I O N: In Meg Wolfe’s lushly physical New Faithful Disco, belief is made manifest as energy. A queer-love power-trio of dancers—taisha paggett, Marbles Radio, and Wolfe—feel and feed on that energy, remixing it as they prepare to take on something BIG. Is it Love? Faith? Impermanence? Pleasure? Power? Propelled by nature sounds and fresh rhythms, the dancers build communal energy into an accumulated whirlwind wrought with awkwardness and contradiction. New Faithful Disco opens up time, triggers fading histories, and confronts who we are now. Wolfe’s work has been presented at venues including REDCAT, Live Arts Exchange Festival, FRESH Festival, the New Original Works Festival, Off Center Festival/ Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Dance Theater Workshop, Danspace Project at St. Mark’s, Dia Center for the Arts, The Kitchen, The Living Theater, and Movement Research at Judson Church. She has performed in the works of Vicky Shick, Jérôme Bel, Molissa Fenley, Clarinda Mac Low, and Susan Rethorst. Wolfe has had residencies at REDCAT, Performance Works NorthWest, the Djerassi Resident Artist’s Program, and the Hothouse Residency program at UCLA, among others.

On May 23, 2014, Elliot Rodger killed six people and injured 13 in Santa Barbara, California, in a rampage motivated by his lack of success with women—a fixation he had detailed in a series of confessional and defiant YouTube videos. New York City multimedia artists Royal Osiris Karaoke Ensemble respond to this wound to the body of Love with a modern-day ritual performance suffused with humor and experimentation. Mining source material ranging from self-help dating advice to confessional shopping videos, the group unpacks, isolates, and rearranges contemporary romantic mythologies and situates Rodger’s actions within a broader collection of found love stories and online video content. Within the sacred space of the performance, this “musical priesthood” will lead a group meditation on insecurity, longing, and masculinity, performing humanity’s common search for Love as we misunderstand it. Royal Osiris Karaoke Ensemble (ROKE) has performed rituals at the Guggenheim Museum, Under the Radar Festival, FringeArts, Under the Radar’s Incoming! Series, Gibney Dance Center, Kate Werble Gallery, Special Effects Festival at Participant Inc., Prelude Festival, AUNTS Arts@ Renaissance, and JACK. ROKE received a 2016 Creative Capital award for The Art of Luv series, and has been awarded a Franklin Furnace Fund grant (2013) and a BAX Space Grant (2014). They were part of the Public Theater’s Devised Theater Working Group and PS122’s RAMP residency program.

W E S T C O A S T P R E M I E R E : In Thomas’ most recent project, Distance is Not Separation, she takes us back to what it means to be a femme black person growing up playing on the street corner, waiting till the street lights came on, the street lights being a signal for the darkness coming. Both a symbol and warning sign for ones safety. The last moments before the call and response between mother/parent/queer family and child: “It’s time to come home, I’m coming.” Thomas investigates the black femme body in relation to the athletic body, thinking about value and skills. Thomas rethinks and rebalances how we see and observe sports imagery, the labor and value of craftsmanship, the hairdresser, the janitor, the ‘exotic’ dancer, and how language constructs and transcribes symbols onto the black femme body. Keijaun Thomas creates live performance and multimedia installations that oscillate between movement and materials that function as tools, objects and structures, as well as a visual language that can be read, observed, and repeated within spatial, temporal, and sensorial environments. Her work investigates the histories, symbols, and images that construct notions of Black identity within black personhood. Thomas examines, deconstructs, and reconstructs notions of visibility, hyper-visibility, passing, trespassing, eroticized, and marginalized representations of the black body in relation to disposable labor, domestic service, and notions of thingness amongst materials addressing blackness outside of a codependent, binary structure of existence. Thomas earned their Masters degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Thomas has shown work nationally and internationally in Los Angeles, CA; Portland, OR; Chicago, IL; Boston, MA; New York, NY; Miami, FL; and Taipei, Taiwan; Paris, France; Mexico City, Mexico; Santiago, Chile; and the United Kingdom. Thomas was an artist-in-residence at PICA as part of the Creative Exchange Lab program in Fall 2015.

Carlos Motta

In the early 19th century, a Colombian named Martina was investigated by the colonial court for being a hermaphrodite, after being accused by her female lover of having an “unnatural body.” Meanwhile, in the Ottoman Empire, a woman named Nour is married off to the brother of her lover after her mother finds the two women together in bed. Part documentary and part fiction, the film presents these parallel stories as an imagined correspondence between the two women, exposing the ways in which medicine, law, religion, and tradition have shaped dominant discourses of the gendered and sexual body. Separated by geography, culture, and religion they both faced the consequences of defying sex and gender norms. Deseos (co-written by Motta and Maya Mikdashi) will be preceded by Motta’s Nefandus, in which two men— one indigenous, the other Spanish-speaking—travel by canoe through the “wild beauty” of the Colombian Caribbean, telling stories of pecados nefandos (unspeakable sins, abominable acts) that took place during the conquest of the Americas. Carlos Motta was born in Bogotá, Colombia, and currently lives and works in New York. His work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the New Museum, MoMA PS1, Institute of Contemporary Art Philadelphia, the Tate Modern, and the Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros in México City, among others. He has also been featured in group exhibitions at the Guggenheim Museum, SFMOMA, Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Witte de With, Jeu de Paume, and Castello di Rivoli in Turin, as well as in the Lyon Biennale, the Gwangju Biennale, the Gothenburg International Biennale of Contemporary Art, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, and the Toronto International Film Festival.

AU’s new collaboration with the Camas High School choir is an explosive, joyful expression of community and creativity that blurs the lines between propulsive art-pop and avant-garde choral soundscapes. This concert is the summation of a yearlong project that found AU’s Luke Wyland working directly with Camas students to produce an entirely new body of music. In addition, Wyland worked closely with Camas Choir Director Ethan Chessin and the trailblazing arts education nonprofit Young Audiences of Oregon & SW Washington to craft a curriculum that exposed Camas students to varying aspects of the music business via members of the local industry. For this latest incarnation of the project, Wyland will be joined by 80 of the Camas High students, plus his AU collaborators Holland Andrews (Like A Villain), Joe Cunningham (Blue Cranes), Andrew Jones (The Crenshaw), Dana Valatka (Aan), and Reed Wallsmith (Blue Cranes). Luke Wyland is an interdisciplinary artist and composer based in Portland, OR. He is known primarily as the creative force behind the art-pop band AU, though he has been composing music for dance, film, and television for the past decade. A graduate of the Massachusetts College of Art, he has presented his work throughout North America and Europe to critical acclaim. Ethan Chessin teaches music at Camas High School. His choirs have collaborated with a wide variety of musicians and community leaders including Sufi mystics, Venezuelan harpists, indie rockers, klezmer bands, capoeira troupes, and composers from Mexico and the Czech Republic. Prior to his work at Camas High School, Ethan directed the Calcutta Foundation Orchestra, an orchestra of adult orphans in Calcutta, India, and the Dahoo Chorus, a psychedelic rock-opera choir in Portland, OR. He holds a B.A. in music from Yale University and an M.A. in music education from the University of Washington.

U S P R E M I E R E : Lebanese choreographer Ali Chahrour explores the practice of Islamic Shiite religious ritual through dance and the body. In this performance, Chahrour takes the stage with two musicians and Leila, a professional mourner whose role it is to deliver the lamentations and honor the departed at a funeral. Woven from traditional Ataaba song verses and the plaintive cries of bereavement, the work is a poetic elegy to a fading cultural heritage. Leila’s Death addresses the relationships between the body and religion, the mourner and the deceased, the sacred and the performed. Chahrour studied in the theater department of the Lebanese University in Beirut, where he first began investigating his cultural religious heritage through art and performance. Following his training in Europe, he returned to his home in Lebanon to create a locally rooted identity for contemporary dance. His past works include On the lips snow (2009), Danas (profane ⁄ impurity) (2010), and Fatmeh (2014), where he first fully realized his artistic exploration of Shiite practices. He is currently continuing his studies at Saint Joseph University in Beirut. Travel support provided by Al Mawred al thaqafi-tejwal.

Part lecture, part choreographic exposition, better to be alone than to wish you were is a solo performance that affirms the anticlimactic futility of lust, from its first intoxicating charge to its subsequent, stumbling pursuit. While slyly humorous, Hankins unabashedly exploits and strips her body of its poetic nature as it is offered up for consumption, judgment, and of course: desire. Created with an all-female production team, better to be alone… weaves seduction, stand-up comedy motifs, and forced voyeurism in an attempt to exhibit the extraordinary and cumbersome illogic of love and sex. Allie Hankins is a Portland-based performer who makes works that toy with the destabilization of persona through uncanny physicality, wr y wit, labyrinthine logic, and skillfully layered imagery, all while trying to suppress her contentious eagerness to please. Her current collaborators include Physical Education (Lu Yim, keyon gaskin, and Taka Yamamoto), Rachael Dichter, Morgan Ritter, and Rose Mackey. Most recently, Hankins has performed with Julien Prévieux, Morgan Thorson, Tahni Holt, and Suniti Dernovsek.

U S P R E M I E R E : Italian artist Alessandro Sciarroni returns to Portland with a performative reflection on the passing of time. Continuing his trilogy that began with Folk-s, will you still love me tomorrow (TBA:15), Sciarroni now focuses on another traditional artform comprised of repeated actions: juggling. By remixing the pacing and sequence of gravity-defying moves (under the leg, under the arm, above the head, etc.), there is an almost endless combination of patterns to explore. Each repetition abstracts the performers’ movements, opening the possibilities of seeing the larger picture: flight, failure, kinetic potential. Stripping away the trappings of the circus, Sciarroni lays bare the essential vocabulary of juggling and the medium’s fixation on practice, discipline, and concentration. Every toss and every catch marks the passage of time—a hypnotic and thrilling effect—again and again and again. Alessandro Sciarroni is an Italian performing artist with an extensive background in visual art and theater. His works are featured in dance and theater festivals, museums, art galleries, and in unconventional spaces. Sciarroni’s performances try to uncover obsessions, fears, and fragilities through the repetition of a practice at the limits of physical endurance. He collaborates with a wide range of artists and his works have been performed in 21 European countries, Canada, Brazil, Uruguay, and the United Arab Emirates, at venues including the Biennale de la Dance in Lyon, Kunstenfestivaldesarts in Brussels, Impulstanz Festival in Vienna, the Venice Biennale, the Festival Séquence Danse at 104 in Paris, Juli Dans Festival in Amsterdam, the Centre Pompidou, and the MAXXI Museum in Rome.

Where lies the boundary between the body and the machine? In an empty space, illuminated only with cold light, Geumhyung Jeong explores the potential of the human: the sensuality, power, and mutability of the body. In seven peculiar “duets” with mundane objects (ranging from household appliances to mannequins), Jeong bestows a bizarre and disconcerting life to the inanimate through an intense and risky interaction with her own body, Combining dance, puppetry, and a technical mastery of theatrical conventions, the result is a moving choreography of the body and mind, crossing the dividing line between the human and inhuman, hallucination and reality. Geumhyung Jeong is a South Korea-based choreographer, dancer and performer.

16 PH OTO BY D O U G G I FFO RD

Rinde Eckert has been writing, composing, performing, and directing evocative and haunting performance pieces and plays that have pushed at the edges of recognized theatrical form since the early 1980s. My Fools: A Life in Song combines song, dramatic monologues, lecture, and video from his archive. Beginning with a montage of visually striking moments from his shows across the decades, My Fools is a series of variations on a smart, slightly cock-eyed Everyman who begins his journey with a pure sense of mission and descends into the maelstrom. The multi-talented Rinde Eckert is an acclaimed performer, director, writer, composer, librettist, and musician whose virtuosic command of gesture, language, and song takes this total theatre artist beyond the traditional boundaries of what a ‘play,’ a ‘dance piece,’ an ‘opera,’ or a ‘musical’ might be. Eckert creates solo work, chamber pieces and through-composed operas with larger casts in collaborations with choreographers, composers, directors, and new music ensembles. His Opera/ New Music Theatre productions have toured throughout the U.S. and to major European and Asian festivals. Current theater and music projects in which he performs include My Lai with the Kronos Quartet; The Aging Magician with Paola Prestini and Beth Morrison Productions; and Five Beasts with composer/performer Ned Rothenberg and beat box artist Adam Matta. Among his many awards, Rinde Eckert was the 2007 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Drama.

Blind Coven will feature Portland-based songwriter, songstress, and actor Amenta Abioto. Abioto’s work is on the cutting edge of all that is musical, theatrical, and literary. Her music is boldly mystical and soul-fired, and her raw improvisational live performances invoke elements of both theatrical surprise and magic through ancient African diasporic sounds and stories. She brings to the music scene funky academia while skipping vocally from soul-shaking gospel and smooth jazz to hip hop rhythms wrapped in West African beats. The performance will feature a boutique designed 10-channel surround sound system as well as correlating lighting and visuals from artist DB Amorin. Blind Coven is an ongoing internationally curated space and dialogue of sound artists, sound designers, composers, and experimentalists. While the event locations shift between Brisbane, Australia and Portland, Oregon, the central focus remains on immersive listening.

Referencing the psychedelic light shows of the ’60s and ’70s as well as the harsh noise performances of contemporary avant-garde rebels like Bruce McClure, the Cinema Project collective, along with Portlandbased musician Matt Carlson and friends, will create a momentary light and sound environment—a temporary dynamic installation in which to immerse audience members both wandering and still. Several 16mm projectors will run simultaneously and light beams will appear in the round. Moving images of man, woman, animal, landscape, or simply sheer color and light from analog loops and reels will overlap and penetrate one another, covering any and all surfaces possible, and manipulated live by human hands. The mechanics of cinematic experience will be laid bare and at times it will be very, very loud. Cinema Project is a collectively run, non-profit organization based in Portland, Oregon, that works to promote public awareness of avant-garde cinema from the past and present. For 13 years, Cinema Project has attempted to push boundaries with thoughtful and evocative curatorial selections and in doing so has featured artists, curators, and scholars from around the world with the intent to broaden public engagement with, and deepen critical understanding of, innovative experimental film and video art.

Carlos Motta will speak about his recent videos, installations, and sculptural works, as well as the upcoming symposium Nefandus: Colonial Sexual Alterity and Histories for the Future, which he is co-convening with historian Pablo Bedoya at the Pérez Art Museum (PAMM) in Miami. These projects investigate pre-conquest and colonial sexualities, a topic that has traditionally held a marginal place in contemporary artistic, academic, political, and cultural agendas. Motta’s practice suggests that the dissemination of knowledge about sexuality and gender in the colonial period may prove important to understanding the conditions of sexual and gender politics in the present. Can the production of sex/gender orders tell us something about the historical evolution of certain subjects’ alterity? What can peripheral sexualities tell us about the hegemonic order? Where should the boundary be drawn between peripheral/abject/ subordinate sexualities and sexualities at the center? What means are available to us for approaching that past? What other methods, theories, and/or languages might be useful to us in approaching colonial studies and as a means for understanding our current problems? Motta will discuss his research and artistic methodologies, which include strategies of documentary practice, fiction, and parafiction.

TBA Guest Scholar Maya Mikdashi traces the history of the modern Lebanese state through an engagement with the archives of the country’s high court. Ethnography of daily life at the courthouse is coupled with archival research in order to think more critically about mainstream Lebanese history and technologies of research, census taking, and the politics of identity. What is the relationship between history, the researcher, and the archive? How might we think about archival refusal—archives that are not history and archives that are absent—in order to re-imagine the political possibilities of the present in a War on Terror era Middle East? How might the researcher refuse the logic and technology of the archive, and what work are we doing at these moments of refusal? These are some of the guiding questions of this presentation, which serves to further contextualize Lebanese culture, politics, and identity in connection with Beirut-based TBA artists Ali Chahrour and Junaid Sarieddeen. Maya Mikdashi is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. She received her Ph.D in Anthropology from Columbia University. Her current research/manuscript focuses on law, citizenship, secularity, religious conversion, sexual difference, and the war on terror. She has been a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow from 2014–2016 at Rutgers University, and a Faculty Fellow/ Director of Graduate Studies, Center for Near Eastern Studies, New York University (2012–2014). She has been published widely in journals including International Journal of Middle East Studies; Comparative Study of South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East; Gay and Lesbian Quarterly; and the American Indian Culture and Research Journal.

Junaid will position Zoukak as a case study to illuminate the broader landscape of art and politics in Lebanon, sharing the origins of the company as a platform for contemporary performance and vehicle for social change, in a country lacking adequate public and cultural policy and haunted by cycles of ceaseless crisis. Junaid will discuss Zoukak’s emphasis on creative process over outcomes, and the value of collectivity, collaborative methodologies, horizontal participation, and multiplicities of expression as unexpected approaches to theatre-making. In turn, he will share techniques of theatre in the psychosocial field, including work with populations affected by war, violence, and extreme displacement and marginalization in Lebanon and beyond. Junaid is dramaturg for the TBA:16 performance Leila’s Death.

2 HRS — CAPACITY: 20 — ALL LEVELS

Taught by Roberto Martinez of Christian Rizzo’s d’aprés une histoire vraie, this workshop will revisit some extracts of the piece that test the body’s various substances and qualities. We will take time to investigate, interrogate, and appropriate them using a variety of compositional devices as well as collaborative writing. Participants will not only discover how to navigate the material from the performance’s choreography, but individually interpret, play, and improvise with it.

2 HRS — CAPACITY: 40 — ALL LEVELS

for Portlanders and visitors alike to All workshops take place at Studio 2 inside New Expressive Works and are $15 general or $12 member unless otherwise noted (included in all passes, registration required).

DA N C E ⁄ M OV E M E N T: Creators of Portland’s very own House of Aquarius— William Ylvisaker, Grace Eucker, and Akela Jaffi—bring you a dance workshop about connecting with your own personal movement. Beginning with a guided meditation that focuses on waking and moving the body’s individual pieces, the class will provide a blueprint that allows the freedom to move the way that best suits you. The intention of the class is to create the same freedom and confidence in learning choreography as in improvisational movement. There will be space to learn, share, play, interact, and heal.

To not think of a future. To dismantle rote kinetic pathways. To facilitate immersion in the awkward and half-welcomed. To draw the invisible out from the hyper-visible. To suspend what's familiar. To challenge emergent assumptions. Engage with these ideas through choreographic structures pulled from Marbles’ longstanding work with Simone Forti as well their current research.
