Copy of Moving In Place Exhibition: Charlotte Street Fo
Charlotte Street Foundation presents a new performance art exhibition, Moving in Place, on view from March 4-19, 2022 and curated by Kimi Kitada, Jedel Family Foundation Curatorial Fellow. Moving in Place delves into the medium of performance through the work of nine artists, spanning live performance, video art, and sculptural and photo-based installations. The featured artists include: Barber (Chicago, IL), Betsy Brandt (St. Louis, MO), Justin Tyler Bryant (Little Rock, AR), Haley Kostas (Kansas City, MO), Lilly McElroy (Kansas City, MO) + Christopher Carroll (New York, NY), Yvonne Osei (St. Louis, MO), Michelle Sui (Los Angeles, CA), and Johanna Winters (Kansas City, MO). As a curatorial thread, the artists in this exhibition use their own bodies as material and vessel for performance-based works. The presence of the body is integral to the realization of each piece. Just as the field of performance art is open-ended, these works are non-linear and exploratory. How does site inform a performance? Could a given performance be reenacted in any museum or gallery space, or is the work deeply embedded in the landscape, context, and histories of a particular site?
