Revised Numerology
Wellington 2018
Vanessa Crofskey
The artist will revise their performance from the Container Series, A is For Aardvark, B is for Bubonic Plague and transform this into a short act of theatrical poems for the Live Series. This act will be derived from the letters written to past icons that were made over the duration of the initial performance.
The letters will be read aloud toward different objects, cut, rearranged and transposed into dialogue. The artist will read these letters to different audiences and devise a piece using paper as a building block. It will draw on the artist’s background as a performance poet, involving political opinion, minute intimacy and dry observation to scramble thoughts, grievances and violence together.
The artist is more interested in an ongoing process of dialogic exchange than seeking a resolved solution. By continually reprocessing an accumulation of text, her work exposes the ruse of finality.
