After a spectacular premiere at The (UN)FAIR this past March for Armory Arts Week, Cutlog Art Fair has graciously invited Taxiplasm & Joseph Grazi to recreate the experience on their opening night to coincide with FRIEZE Art Fair, once again featuring the incomparable Akil Vishus Davis and Bryan Longchamp.
"The Seeds That Release" challenges what we learn from the divine nature of the inevitable severance of those we feel most connected to. Two identical figures are infinitely connected in strands of figure 8's amidst a vast web, slowly rotating in solitude on mirrored platforms like sculptures, while audience members are invited to play god to the situation and sever their ties over the course of 4 hours. Each life giving thread that is cut, is a clue to the performers that they are not in control. At last when they are released from all bonds, their body language shifts dramatically as they discover their own independence, as painful as it is pleasurable, but their discovery is ultimately the audience's responsibility.
