OPENING: 

05 March 2022 – From 4.00 to 5.30 pm. 

WHERE: 

Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts – Nebraska (USA).

Curated by SYLVIE FORTIN

Performance by Bridget Moser followed by a conversation with curator Sylvie Fortin.

Developed for I don’t know you like that: The Bodywork of Hospitality, Moser’s 50-minute performance extends and complements the video installation currently on view in the exhibition, transforming it into the set for an entirely different adventure. Borrowing from prop comedy, experimental theater, contemporary dance, and performance art, Moser’s piece unfolds as brief scenes shifting abruptly and unexpectedly between self-deprecation, humor, and deeper emotions… with a healthy dose of awkward and cringeworthy moments. References and materials from consumer culture, trending online content, popular music, and film play supporting roles in her exploration of isolation as the consequence of linking the body with individuality, the tenuousness of self-identity, and the intensity of being alive.
