ALIVE AT SATELLITE - Press Kit - Miami Art Week 2018

PERFORMANCE IS ALIVE PRESENTS 4-DAYS OF PROGRAMMING AT SATELLITE ART SHOW SATELLITE ART SHOW ✨ MIAMI ART WEEK 2018

Alive At Satellite December 6-9, 2018 Satellite Art Show​ | Ice Palace Lot, 18 NW 14th Street, Miami, FL 33136 | Performance Is Alive performance space Curated by Quinn Dukes | Contact: quinn@performanceisalive.com

Performance Is Alive ​has partnered once again with Satellite Art Show to present Miami’s only non-stop performance art program during Miami Art Week. ​Alive At Satellite ​features live and video based performance art projects from over 20 artists across the globe. The 4-day performance program celebrates SATELLITE’s mission to honor the significant impact of performance art - an often underrepresented medium during contemporary art fairs.

This year performance artists will embrace the location shift from Miami Beach to the Ice Palace’s 33,000 sq ft parking lot in downtown Miami by exploring beyond the boundaries of a centralized performance zone. Performances are often interactive and durational, allowing the viewer to become sensorially immersed within their ​experienc​e. Political protest and the quest to harness identity thru social conflict are recurring points of motivation for Alive at Satellite artists. We invite you to join us in protest, drink tea with us on the back of an artist and to witness your first (and perhaps your only) face ballet. In the true spirit of SATELLITE - no two moments will be the same.

TRAUMA CHOIR​ b ​ y Jana Astanov

#AliveAtSatellite Performance Is Alive performance tent LIVE PERFORMANCE​ FRIDAY, December 7th at 7 ​ pm

Back in October 2017, I set up Google alerts for what seems one of the biggest injustices done to the women within our culture on a large scale - sexual harassment. The list of articles that were accumulated since last year is enormous, giving us a terrifying insight into a crime against women, a crime against humanity. This long long list gives us an ugly picture of our society, a selfie of toxic masculinity and chauvinism that spreads with the likes of Trump, Weinstein, Kavanaugh and many others. Has something changed though? Trump is still our president, Weinstein spent the fortune he amassed assaulting young actresses to cover his legal fees and so far has been found not guilty on all the cases, Kavanaugh became the Justice on the Supreme Court…. So where is the justice? It seems that we cannot expect that we will get the justice through the political and judicial systems, rooted within the patriarchal structures of our society, as it is. Can anything be done? First let’s deal with all this trauma accumulated in our bodies and brains - join the Trauma Choir!

The old white boys club will eventually die out, #HERSTORY will keep on growing and gaining the prominence.

Proportional representation will be finally installed throughout the whole sectors of the society, and we can collectively scream out our hearts, releasing the trauma from our collective body - join #TRAUMACHOIR and shake up the foundations of injustice that feeds our culture and society in AN EVER ACCELERATING HIGHER pitch, louder than the hell of patriarchy.

From trauma, frustration, pain, anger TO FREEDOM, TO BLISSFUL PARTICIPATION.

Jana Astanov ​is a multidisciplinary artist, living in New York. Born in Poland she studied anthropology in Poland, philosophy and linguistics in France, and arts in the UK.

[pre]production​ b ​ y Alberto Checa

#AliveAtSatellite Performance Is Alive performance tent LIVE PERFORMANCE​ SATURDAY, December 8th at ​9pm

Composed of two utilitarian structures made out of PVC that ironically contrast function while highlighting futility, stimulated by the stages of human embryonic development, the piece ​“[pre]production” reveals the process of constructing an entity assembled specifically to complicate the creation of a final product. An aristocratic wine-mixing method used in Greek symposiums is similarly used to produce and mix plaster through the decontextualization of a Hydria, Krater and Amphora as 5 gal. buckets. Two users are concealed in white bottoms that unavoidably ware out, causing the exposure of purity within a lower class context. They are in charge of building the structure and running production; they are connected to a hose (attached to the structure) that obstructs oxygen creation/flow and replaces it with CO2 from the co-dependent user. The intent to create Sisyphean labor represents the comfort provided by the lower class who, in order to meet the needs of survival, unavoidably have to provide for the upper class. This “revelation” of labor exposes the idea of process; an idea that is preferred rather than the idea of production taken for granted (as a “point A to point B” system). The third user resides in the background draped in garments complimenting the unassembled structure wrapped in red. This user is also powering the preaching table where chopping and screwing of various sounds are composed to satirically reference the inductive preach of necessity.

Alberto Checa embraces the idea that he is dependent of his mother's labor and the sacrifices of her well being for his happiness. To fully understand the reasons for doing so, he has imitated the actions of her countless working hours and the heavy loads she must carry in both a physical and metaphorical sense. He experiments using industrial materials to convey his mother's occupation, the raw nature of her actions, and movements that are driven by the motivational benefit of her child. In his work he idolizes the boxes which his mother is forced to carry; using their form and simplistic geometrical nature that contain heavy plasters which represents the shame he feels about the situation. Created within the fear of his mother being injured for what she continues to accomplish for Alberto, he reproduces what she suffers through in an attempt to understand her reasoning. Although not aware of the work created about her, she unknowingly continues in helping Alberto by giving him self validation that he would be an individual to sacrifice your body and mind for.

LIVE PERFORMANCE​ FRIDAY, December 7th at 9 ​ pm

"the way you say I don't know how" is an embodiment of social and cultural disillusionment and failure; a translation of my experience as a femme identified queer Iranian American, inhabiting multiple identities, that are at once connective, limiting, freeing and vulnerable. It is soft and violent, sensual and uncomfortable, interactive and performative.

#AliveAtSatellite Performance Is Alive performance tent

LIVE PERFORMANCE​ FRIDAY, December 7th at ​8pm

Imagine if you could be immersed in nature one moment, and the very next be in the middle of a city? ​‘soak/saturate​’ is an interactive immersive quad audio performance and installation that explores this idea by allowing the listener to create their own soundscape, all while ambient textures are performed live to set the tone. Every moment of the performance installation is improvised, and no moment will ever sound exactly the same as another. ‘soak/saturate’ was created with the hope of bringing awareness to the sounds that surround us everyday, and make us aware of our sonic footprint on the environment. By using field recordings from both natural water-bound locations and from bustling cities, the listener is encouraged to test their own level of comfort and familiarity with the two contrasting-yet-coexisting environments.

Drum & Lace​, aka Sofia Hultquist, is an Italian composer, sound artist and performer that creates music for film and media. Raised in Florence, Italy she received her Undergraduate Degree from Berklee College of Music (Film Scoring & Composition) and a Masters Degree (Music Technology & Composition) from New York University. Inspired by interesting sounds and cinematic elements, Drum & Lace melds together sampled field recordings and lush layers of synths to create densely textural and beat-heavy music, greatly drawing from film music, music concrete and modern electronica. Her ambient and chamber work also gathers great inspiration from nature and natural sound, as well as the juxtaposition of unlikely sounds with one another. Drum & Lace is based in Los Angeles, CA.

Composition work includes writing for fashion, dance, theater, and commercials for clients such as NARS, Squarespace, Always, Tanya Taylor, Girls Who Code and most recently composed music for Saudade Theatre’s production of ‘The Constitution’ (CA, USA). Her feature-length film credits include ""The First Monday in May"" (dir Andrew Rossi) , ""The Gospel According to André"" (dir Kate Novack), “Love & Bananas” (dir Ashley Bell), ”Invisible Hands"" (dir Shraysi Tandon out in theaters November 2018) & upcoming doc “At The Heart of Gold” (dir Erin Lee Carr). Recent performances include The Echo Society VI: Family (USA ), Immersive Quad Soundbath alongside Suzanne Ciani’s Quad LP playback at Echo Park Rising (USA) & ambient opera re-telling “Debussy e la Natura” at the Festa Dell'Opera 2018 (Italy). She was also a featured panelist and participant at the Ableton Loop 2018 conference in Los Angeles, CA. drumandlacemusic.com | @drumandlace | soundcloud.com/drumandlace | facebook.com/drumandlacemusic

SCREENING ​ SATURDAY, December 8th at ​4pm​, SUNDAY, December 9th at ​6:30pm

SuperNova is a talent show parody that consists of seven characters in which I perform. The performers are: Oreo, Fatimeh, and Coco and each of their acts critically examines issues of race and ethnic performance; Oreo performs a magic trick with a deck of white “race cards,” Fatimeh sings and performs a neo-orientalist ethnic identity and Coco performs a dance as a diasporic and hybrid subject. The characters perform in the galaxy Messier 82 and present their talent in front of a panel of judges: Sirius, Mira and Bellatrix.

SuperNova examines the socio-political, temporal, linguistic and spatial factors that contribute to the formation of identity. The work explores the potential for a digital exploration of space that allows for the creation of a new imaginary and geographical landscape. This new site departs from our current world and invites the viewer on an ethnifuturist and world-making voyage.

Rah i​s an Iranian- Canadian video and performance artist. Rah’s work has been exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally at spaces including: Images Festival (Toronto), Museum London, Williams College Museum of Art (Williamstown, Massachusetts), Nieuwe Vide (Haarlem, Netherlands), Pao Festival (Oslo, Norway), Kunst Am Spreeknie (Berlin, Germany), Kunsthaus Graz Museum (Graz, Austria), and Onassis Cultural Center (Athens, Greece). She has been the recipient of numerous awards including: Chalmers Arts Fellowship, finalist for Team Canada in Digital Arts, Conseil Des Arts et Des Lettres Du Quebec Research/Production grant for Digital Arts (2014) and Film (2015), and a SSHRC Canada Graduate Scholarship. She has been awarded several residencies including the Artslant Georgia Fee Residency (Paris), Koumaria Residency (Greece), AX Gallery (Berlin), MUU Galleria (Helsinki), and the Studio Das Weisse Haus (Vienna).

Rah is represented by Vtape, Canada’s leading artist-run distributor for video art.

Terra de Fuochi/ Land of Fires - Bianca Falco | Photo by Jonathan Slaff. Image courtesy of the artist.

"Terra dei Fuochi/ Land of Fires" ​by Bianca Falco #AliveAtSatellite Performance Is Alive performance tent LIVE PERFORMANCE​ SUNDAY, December 9th at ​2pm

Terra dei fuochi / Land of fires​, its goal is to share the story of the suffering mothers of Campania, Italy. Campania is my homeland region in Italy and the now called ”Land of fires” is the area north of Naples and South of Caserta. It was once known as Europe vegetable garden and called by the romans Campania Felix, the fertile countryside. Toxic waste coming from all Europe has been buried or left under the open sky and burned daily since the 80’s up to today. After watching the interviews of mothers who lost their babies to cancer and being myself the aunt to nephews and nieces living in the area I was moved to act. As a choreographer and a dancer I started to create this project blending modern dance, music and documentary theater. I started as well a dialogue with the association “Noi genitori di tutti” (we are the parents of all). An association of mothers and fathers from the region; who have lost their children to cancer. They became testimonials of this devastating situation and they give support to numerous families with sick kids. They gave me permission to incorporate their kids’ pictures and to share their personal stories during the performance.

They wish to be heard in the hope something will change.

I collaborate with my brothers Alberto (composer) on this project. We have been raised in the arts and we enjoy working together and keeping alive our family traditions.

Bianca Falco ​has ​staged about thirty works in NYC, Canada, Europe, Mexico, India and Southeast Asia. She was born in Naples, Italy.

“Of The 12 People Who Have Walked On The Moon 11 Were Boy Scouts”​ b ​ y Bahareh Khoshooee #AliveAtSatellite Performance Is Alive performance tent LIVE PERFORMANCE​ FRIDAY, December 7th at ​10pm

In January 27, 2017 the White House issued an executive order that prevented the immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens from seven countries. Today that order is widely referred to as the Travel Ban or Muslim Ban. “Of The 12 People Who Have Walked On The Moon 11 Were Boy Scouts” is a live desktop performance accompanied by pre-recorded sound, a commentary on the issues of immigration and the absurdity of the impact such orders will have on so many individuals. As an Iranian citizen in today’s America immigration has created a fragmented reality, a liminal space in which I am stuck, alienated from both countries.

In this performance I use my body as a tool and my performance as a process in creating visual imaginary liminal spaces and self-estranged characters who attempt to re-claim their otherness, illegality and alienation through their mischievous yet innocent interactions. Excerpt of the text (audio): ​"...These are countries that had already been identified as presenting heightened concerns about terrorism and travel to the United States. Specifically, the suspension applied to countries referred to in, or designated under, Separation is itself an integral part of the unity of this world, of a global social practice split into reality and image. the social practice confronted by an autonomous spectacle is at the same time the real totality which contains that spectacle. But the split within this totality mutilates it to the point that the spectacle seems to be its goal..."​"

Bahareh Khoshooee ​was born in Tehran, Iran, in the year of the goat, 1991. This upcoming December Khoshooee will be presenting her work solo at NADA Miami fair 2018, as well as a solo show at Coco Hunday (Florida) in early 2019. Her recent solo exhibitions took place at Elsewhere (New York), and Rawson Projects (New York). Khoshooee has been included in group shows at C24 Gallery (New York), Fotografiska Museet (Stokholm), 2018 Taiwan Annual, Fajr International Film Festival 2018 (Tehran), and Untitled Art Fair 2017 (Miami). Earlier this year she was commissioned to create a video piece for Spotify’s very first audio book. Khoshooee served as an artist-in-residence at Skowhegan School of Art and Painting 2018, Triangle 2018, Ox-Bow 2017, and ACRE Residency 2016.

Pa’ Hialeah​ b ​ y Carolina Larrosa

#AliveAtSatellite Performance Is Alive performance tent

LIVE PERFORMANCE​ FRIDAY, December 7th at 3 ​ -5pm

Thirty minutes north of Wynwood, Hialeah is home to an almost exclusively latinx -and notoriously playful- community and culture. Most striking to me is a fierce do-it-yourself culture, outspoken and unabashedly present in every aspect of the city. There is a practice of self-reliance within Hialeah, born from a resourcefulness engrained in latinx culture, which serves as a method of technological and cultural disobedience against forces of colonialism and assimilation. This disobedience materializes in many ways in Hialeah - misspelled signs, home-grown avocados for sale, furniture stacked 10 feet high on the back of a pickup truck, vianderos selling guarapo and coco frío from repurposed vans on the side of the road, and beautifully confusing lawn decorations.

Pa’Hialeah is an homage to the vibrant, multifaceted, and kitschy city I call home, as well as to the women in my family, who raised me there with pride. ​Pa’Hialeah draws upon the in-between, what is formed in the space between lands, cultures, tongues. It is this in-between-ness that I aim to perform and bend through this work. ​Pa’Hialeah calls upon the practice of camp as it relates to the playful disobedience of Hialeah, how we have taken an unnamed space between nations and cultures and made it ours through sly appropriation, all the while never taking ourselves too seriously. I reflect upon the ways in which I have inherited the cultural practices I was raised by, and how I may insert my personal narrative through the exaggeration and playfulness of drag.

"Like ropes tied to two countries, linked at a halfway point in the ocean separating them, moving under the surface of the water and pulled by the shifting currents."

Carolina Larrosa was born to Cuban parents in Miami in 1998. She currently lives in Montreal where she attends Concordia University for her undergraduate degree in Intermedia Cyber Arts. As an interdisciplinary performance, electronic, and video artist, Larrosa develops playful yet quietly personal inquiries that work to decode the charged signifiers tied to her identity. Born into a series of in-betweens - between countries, languages, cultures - Larrosa is interested in unclear and fluctuating points of intersection.

Tengo Miedo, No Tenemos Miedo​, by Irene Mohedano, 2018. Image courtesy of the Artist.

"Tengo miedo; No tenemos miedo”​ ​by Irene Mohedano #AliveAtSatellite Performance Is Alive performance tent LIVE PERFORMANCE​ Thursday, December 6th at 8 ​ pm

“Tengo miedo; No tenemos miedo” ​(I’m afraid; We are not afraid) is a durational performance that addresses issues on immigration, modes of belonging and the multicultural character of American society, gathered together through speech and language. Given the recent events of families being separated at the borders, when speaking Spanish or a different language becomes a “probable cause” to question and arrest individuals -in a country with no official language-, and given Spanish is the second most-spoken language in the U.S., how can the performative act of speech recast notions of nation, belonging and rights in a territory? How does a hegemonic language draw the line for people´s exclusion and inclusion within a state?

This performance consists in singing the U.S. national anthem -The Star-Spangled Banner- in Spanish, while holding the flag and inviting the public and visitors to join the performance, becoming a collective voice and action. Through this collective performative speech, a plural voice claims recognition and commonality by/for those who don’t count but want to count, by/for the invisible who want to become visible, by/for the excluded to be considered. The action is not about appropriating the symbol of a nation as much as it is about questioning how language sets the borders that determine who belongs or not to a nation, what rights they are entitled to or not, and whose life does or doesn’t count.

Playback​ b ​ y Christopher Unpezverde Núñez

#AliveAtSatellite Performance Is Alive performance tent LIVE PERFORMANCE ​ Friday, December 7th at ​5pm

Playback​’s choreography is connecting with the aspect of my absent father through the audio cassette recordings he created. These cassettes come to my possession by the effects of his death. These recordings are neither commercial nor professional. They contained a nonlinear-tapestry-of-sound that, when pieced together, completes an otherwise, fragmented life. These cassettes and the sounds they preserve are an intimate and private creation of my father. They answered questions about his years of absences. The awareness of the world and time that surrounded him.

As this is analog technology, I have reinterpret the object’s functionality in many forms of interdisciplinary art such as sound sculpture, vibrational choreography and installation. These are integrated into a cohesive movement based work.

Playback is intergenerational transfer. A current-time, cross-cultural and generation dialogue that is only achieve by the complexities object-connection. Each cassette is unique.

I choose one randomly for every performance.

a simple bio-hack​ ​by Sierra Ortega #AliveAtSatellite Performance Is Alive performance tent LIVE PERFORMANCE T ​ hursday, December 6th at ​9pm

a simple bio-hack​; inspired by infinite loops and fatal error. This body, a noose; a delicate extension of material and affect. A gentle curve and then a series of violent breaks. The post-modern fate of the anthro-earth corrupted by this constant motion.

It flings us into a future we cannot understand. Dreams of Utopia long forgotten. Bodies, no longer solid, evaporate into a field of virtuality. We dance on the precarious edge. Embrace that unknown force, for the future is always, necessarily, an imperfect stumbling towards.

Sierra Ortega ​is a multidisciplinary performance artist living and working in Brooklyn & Queens, NY. They received an MA in performance studies from NYU in 2016 and an MA in rhetorical studies from Hofstra University in 2015. They are currently an MFA candidate in interdisciplinary art at Goddard College. Using physically and materially disruptive practices generated from their own affective life as an anxious bipolar, their work investigates notions of queerness, alienation, and alterity in the search for meta-utopian post-capitalist futures. Most recently, their work has been presented at Panoply Performance Laboratory, ITINERANT Performance Art Festival, the Center for Performance Research, and the Whitney Museum, among others. They are currently a TMT Institute Fellow and the Target Margin Theatre in Brooklyn, NY.

DARE TO BARE / D.I.Y​ b ​ y Cynthia Post Hunt

#AliveAtSatellite Performance Is Alive performance tent LIVE PERFORMANCE T ​ hursday, December 6th at ​5-7pm

DARE TO BARE / D.I.Y. ​considers occupying time and space through the form of a wall and the artist’s body. This gesture deviates from actions that are participatory in nature, or empathetically engaging...a divergence from anything intentionally hospitable. This minimalist action seeks to explore occupying time and space, through notions of strength, presence, expectation, and viewability, while attempting to maintain complete disinterest in any form of entertainment, theatricality, or generosity.

Cynthia Post Hunt​’s work investigates the individual within the context of society through performative action. She asks the viewer to explore the boundaries of their own vulnerabilities, often times by ardent participation. Post Hunt presumes that as humans, we have common experiences, and she fixates on these moments of shared reality to further explore the effects of being human.

Cynthia Post Hunt is a curator and artist based in Northwest Arkansas. A graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Post Hunt is the co-founder of Inverse Performance Art Festival, which strives to foster local dialogue about performance art on an international scale and build a community of performance artists and supporters. She is a recurring resident in Industry of the Ordinary’s summer residency program. Post Hunt has presented work nationally, including MANA Contemporary Chicago and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. In 2018, Post Hunt received the Artists 360 grant for the development of her performance “TO HAVE TO HOLD TO”, which she performed at Satellite Art Fair 2017.

Post Hunt is currently a curating partner on the Live in America project, and the programmer of theater and dance at the Momentary in Bentonville, Arkansas.

Pangs of ​ by Heather Sincavage

#AliveAtSatellite Performance Is Alive performance tent LIVE PERFORMANCE T ​ hursday, December 6th at ​7pm

Intimacy (emotional and not always romantic) can be thought of a tenuous exchange of power. One offers something of themselves and in many cases without knowing if it will be reciprocated. This exchange and the vulnerable state we place ourselves within has lasting effects. This vulnerability can be met with acceptance, embarrassment, trauma, or grief, however, one cannot always know what to anticipate. The performance, pangs of, is a simple offering to the viewer. Over one hour, the artist masticates 300 quarts of raspberries, an art historical symbol for fragility and kindness. The raspberries mirror the 300 quarts of blood that is pumped through the heart in one hour; the heart, the source for kindness.

Heather Sincavage is an interdisciplinary artist using drawing, sculpture, installation, and performance as part of her studio practice. Her work uses the body for measuring power dynamics, trauma within the human condition, as well as the artist’s role in activism. Originally from Southeastern Pennsylvania, she received her BFA from Tyler School of Art, Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and her MFA from School of Art, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington. She is an alumna of The Vermont Studio Center as well as numerous other residencies and fellowships. Her work has been published in Surface Design Journal and exhibited in over 40 solo and group exhibitions across the United States and in Spain, Finland, and Iceland. Most recently, she performed at the Queens Museum in New York and as part of the Tempting Failure festival in London. In 2018, Heather received the Tanne Foundation Award.

Performance Art Documentation ​ by Kledia Spiro

#AliveAtSatellite Performance Is Alive performance tent SCREENING S ​ UNDAY, December 9th at 3 ​ pm

A selection of performance art documentation from Kledia’s recent performances.

Kledia Spiro creates videos, performances, installations, and paintings. Born in Albania, Kledia was a member of an Olympic weightlifting team. She uses weightlifting as a symbol of survival, empowerment, celebration, and as a vehicle for discussing women’s roles in society, immigration, and times of war. Spiro has performed in New York at the Queens Museum, Songs for Presidents Gallery, Grace Exhibition Space, Rosekill, Panoply Performance Lab, Java Studios, Le Petit Versailles and in Boston at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Mobius, Boston Center for the Arts, Piano Craft Gallery, Bathaus, Distler Performance Hall, and the New England Conservatory. Spiro has exhibited nationally, most notably at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Queens Museum, NY; SAIC Sullivan Galleries, Chicago; Museum of Art, University of New Hampshire; and the ProArts Gallery in Oakland, CA.

Spiro explores the connection between strength, weightlifting and daily life as a new celebratory ritual for understanding the relationship between the artist and her parents, as well as the present and the past. Her works are based on Freudian and Piagetian behavioral concepts: visions that reflect psycho-analysis, behavioral psychology, and a sensation of indisputability, combined with details of odd, eccentric, absurd, totemic and humoristic elements.

Spiro received her MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. She has a BA from the College of the Holy Cross in Studio Art and Psychology with an Asian Studies Concentration.

I can’t make you love me​ ​by Alexandra Sullivan

“​I can’t make you love me" ​invites participants to either take what is offered or see it wasted.

Fresh from the snow Cold storage apples in winter Warmed by my mouth In my hand and in my mouth This flesh in my hand From my mouth to your mouth Taken or wasted, this is what remains"

Alexandra Sullivan is an interdisciplinary artist, New York City native, psychic wanderer, and solver of small puzzles. She received an MFA in Art Practice from the School of Visual Arts, as well as a BFA in Studio Art and a BA in Women’s Studies from Penn State. Her work explores the world of embodied knowledge where our beliefs and behaviors resist articulation while navigating the porous thresholds of identity. Past works have included boundary disrupting interactions using touch, varying levels of sensory deprivation or distortion, conversation, audio, objects, and video.
