Peter BD presents: Connection
Canada is pleased to announce Connection, a six-day program of durational performances by the artist, author, director, and dramaturg Peter BD in which party, poetry, theater, dance, erotica, film, and music are multiplexed and metastasized into an exploratory critique of the aesthetic relations that constitute the material reality of our political economy and symbolic environment. Connection expands an extensive research practice investigating and subverting alterity, alienation, and societal spectacle. If the relations between selves are in fact the very material of our phenomenology, as Flemish School theorist and cultural critic Enzio de Kiipt wrote in his final work Immaterial Transgressions, then Peter BD is a great lattice the city pulls over itself like a cloak. He is the matrix of lead in the stained glass rhizomes of the social hypercathedral. With rotating performances every day of the program and the premiere of a new art film, these mixed media experiences reflect vacillating facets of the personal constellations crafted by Peter BD, featuring Benjamin Krusling, Bunny Rogers, Arjun Srivatsa, Bobbi Menuez, James Yeh, Kyle Dunn, Precious Okoyomon, Lindsay Dye, Azikiwe Mohammed, Sean J Patrick Carney, Umfang, Simone White, Amber Later, Toya Horiuchi, Heather Lynn Johnson, Sarah Blazej, Francis Louvis, Morgan V玫, SK Lyons, Inpatient Press, Alex Tatarsky, and others. As part of Connection's special programming, artwork by Cl茅mence Gbonon, Genevieve Goffman, Toya Horiuchi, Heather Lynn Johnson, Jacob Muilenburg, and Shane Rossi will respond to each day's performance.
