| Salon 28 Eve Dent Anchorage November 8 @ 8pm |
||||||||||||||||||
In the third performance in the Space, Action, Location Series, Eve Dent presented an extraordinary performance installation inside the house at 1a Flodden Road. Exploring the boundaries between the body of the performer and the body of the house, Anchorage was a performed installation over two sites, linking upstairs, downstairs and the space between. By intervening in the structural fabric of the house and placing the body within it, body parts, from the outside seemingly isolated and cut off, were made whole again by becoming part of the larger architectural and imaginative body of the house. Through their innate vitality, these body parts expressed the hidden poetic life of the building as well as the body of memory or traces of existence and experience that remain invisibly lodged within the makeup of the home. Performance was assisted by Lorna Stewart. Eve Dent is best known for ‘Just Below the Surface’, performed both in the UK and in Europe. She continues to produce works that are direct responses to site. She was an artist in residence this year at Les Subsistances in Lyon, recently commissioned by the liveartmagazine/New Works Support scheme and is a current recipient of an artsadmin artists bursary. Special thanks to Richard Robinson for technical assistance. Supported by an artsadmin artists bursary
