SweeneyArtGallery Podcasts, Vol 3 : Issue 2.8 Resonate/Obliterate I.E.: A Night of Queer Performance 00:09:50
Ron Athey’s work has significant, recurring themes: dissociative sparkle, self-obliteration, and incorruptible flesh, each played out upon the historic body, the queer body, the AIDS body, the body in the grip of ecstasy or sorrow of death. This evening centers on a performative dialogue with dancer/choreographer Julie Tolentino in which the artists, in essence, perform and archive each other in rituals of beauty and decay, abjection and ecstasy. Heather Cassils and Zackary Drucker frame Athey and Tolentino's performances with their own dialogue of embodiment.
