Sunday, 8 April
Juliana Huxtable is a visionary artist traversing New York’s art and club worlds. A writer, poet, multimedia artist, DJ and LGBT activist, her works explore the intersections of race, gender, queerness and identity through a vast range of artistic expression. At Rewire 2018, she presents the world premiere of Triptych, a new commissioned performance for electronics, voice, harp, drums and video. Triptych is an assemblage of sounds rooted in Huxtable’s workshopping with frequent collaborator Joe Heffernan and Detroit-based harpist Ahya Simone. It is presented in three parts and is built around texts exploring the (desired) experience of a subject disappearing or dissolving into their flesh – be it in fear, joy or excitation.
In addition to her world premiere, Juliana Huxtable will also join us for an Artist Talk on Saturday, 7 April.
