Gallery Construction

“GALLERY CONSTRUCTION” revolves around seven dance films inspired by Houston-based art installations between 2011-2017. The performance installation connects the concept of art “installation” to the experience of a live performance. Performed choreography emerges from elements within the original art exhibits and the subsequent responsive dance films. Like layers in a painting, Stokes experiments with stacking responses on top of one another, while challenging the separation of installation and performance formats. Stokes explores how a flat screen film project based on three-dimensional art can be transformed back to the stage for a live 3-D experience. Each artistic component, whether film or dance, relies on a separate artistic identity within an interconnected experience. In this process, Stokes asks the question, “How does art reflect life as a series of causal events?”
The performance environment will be structured as a cross over gallery/performance space. There will be options for both audience seating and audience standing/walking within the “installation performance.” Docents will be available to guide audiencemembers.
Artist exhibits that inspired the dance films are “Plexus No. 9” by Gabriel Dawe at Peel Gallery (2011), “Crafta” by Tanya Aguinigia at Peel Gallery (2012), “reverse volume (RG)” by Yasuaki Onishi at Rice University Art Gallery (2012), “Tie Breaker” by Roberta Stokes at Art League Houston (2012), “Unwoven Light” by Soo Sunny Park at Rice University Art Gallery (2013), “Intersections” by Anila Quayyum Agha at Rice University Art Gallery (2015), and “The Great Cape Rinderhorn” by Thornsten Brinkmann at Rice University Art Gallery (2017). This multi-media event is the first time that all seven films have been shown.
