Description
In 1984, the artists Linda Montano and Tehching Hsieh lived together for a year on the ends of a length of rope. This was real, it really happened. They kept to their promise, their contract. Investing in a friendship, an art friendship, a life friendship; what can a conceptual pursuit hold in these impossible times?
This performance is from a new collaboration between Jane Mason and Grace Surman who have made work for 25 years in contemporary performance but have only just met. They will be in the same room at the same time, unravelling the complexities of negotiating the other, and what we choose to reveal of ourselves.
"Its courageous fragility. It sometimes feels like it could dismantle at any moment, but it doesn’t, and this feels like artists who are really dealing with the collision of the live and the fictitious, whilst making me giggle throughout!" Audience member at the premiere.
7.30pm.
