- Part of series: Ena Kantardžić and Sylvie Mayer: I promise, mute body
Choreographer Mary Ann Mayer will be guiding a group of performers, Luke Hatzis, Addison Husband, Izabella Latessa, Sawa Machida, and Ben Nir, in collaborating with the site and engaging in improvisational investigation of the paintings and sculptures
The result will be a performance and rehearsal in one—a revelatory process for observation. The responsive nature of this will involve the audience, who will occupy the space alongside the dancers and artists. Attendees are welcome to come and go as they please throughout the 5-hour open rehearsal, taking time to view the exhibition and its variable emergence.
About the Artists
-
Ena Kantardžić
Ena Kantardžić is a nowhere artist, sitting in their nowhere land, making all their nowhere plans for nobody. Though currently, they are Artist-in-Residence/Visiting Faculty at the Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA. They received an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2024.
-
Sylvie Mayer
Sylvie Mayer is a painter whose work explores interiority, temporality, and theatrical spaces that mediate between public and private. Mayer works from found images, archival materials, and staged collaborations with performers, investigating the mechanics of fiction. Repetition and rehearsal are central to her practice; images are repainted and recontextualized, reflecting the instability of memory and meaning. She received a BFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA in Painting from Boston University.
