Hosting Stillness, 11.05 - 14.05
Intermedia Gallery Centre of Contemporary Arts Glasgow
is a performance project that looks at the absence and presence of the un-abled artist’s body. The idea behind this work is to explore the magical forms of the minor gesture in response to time, site, audience and its relationship to themes within care, ableism and posthumanism. The notion behind the minimal form aims to look at vulnerability as a radical act and performatively celebrate limitations within the body.
The exhibition at the Intermedia Gallery at the CCA will mark the beginning of the three-month-long The Performance Café artist network, which will see Jones create and lead a peer support group for both un-abled and abled artists.
