UPCOMING RESIDENCY : RITUALS OF RHYTHMS

Rituals of rhythm

RITUALS OF RHYTHM –
Rituals of rhythm is collaborative meditation of music through an intuitive sound performance, the space is cleansed for two weeks before inviting the audience to witness the final improvised performance.
Involving a combination of surround rhythmic variations with music excerpts and noise percussion from elemental sounds, the experimental performance will allow all involved to enter altered states of consciousness through the resonance of sound.
Residents Maxwell Reynish, Sound Artist, and Lani Roncillo, Sound Healer, will live and work in the space to create and discover primitive, post-shamanic sounds, using an eclectic selection of their personal instruments.
“The way you change and help music is by trying to invent new ways to play”

WEIGHT SHIFTING

The idea for the performance draws its elements from self observation. To embody different levels of maturity the artist is deploying movement and voice. Drawing out a time-line consisting of beats intuitively produced by Tania Soubry. The performance aims at representing the mannerism and changes in capacities throughout the passages of ones life.

In this performance about human development and soul searching Time is a continuous happening while Action is decisively placed.  The consciousness to make out this framework derived from active self observation noting subconscious physical and mental moves and challenging them

The public showcase of the findings has no final stance but allows the artist to underline her relation towards the holistic and all encompassing idea of body and soul, working and sharing her progress. The performance can be seen like an ongoing exploration facing an audience – hopefully inspiring others to look at themselves and the manifestations won throughout time.

Jac Auora is collaborating with Tania Soubry after answering an Open Call from Anatums Abode website. The trained dancer and performance artist is particularly interested in the relation between, music, song, sound, voice, rhythm, movement, dance, performance and the body. Within this she is interested in the movement of our consciousness, perceptions and reflections, a verbal , thinking, political, soulful, spiritual and environmental voice.

Anatums lend its Abode for the development of work by the U.S streetartist Sirus Fountain
2 weeks into the process the show opened like a shrine would open up for visitors
people came and stayed, absorbing works that went beyond the visual but provided a setting to engage with the content matter, the place of their creation and the person whos care and vision brought all of this to reality, a reality spent for the next 72 hours
Anatums reluctancy to exhibit murials lead to the artist ex-tracting surfaces that inspired him.
– our rooftop,our secret and guilty skip and the neighbouring environment bore the now remodelled treasures. Sheets of metal and woods of all variations, chipped colours from decades and recent history Sirus deployed them as backdrops for his paintings and came to produce one three dimensional tableaux after the other.
while each is crafted from found material and fitted carefully into the space the content matter of each drawing points to the universal questions and faiths. faces of struggle and lines indicating the rawness of life and its roughness were formulised in bold strokes. they looked at us from the walls :
2 to 3 perspectives of a face in one. six eyes. 3 mouths and angles for the appearance of psychological depth. when asked who these people were Sirus said its travellers and homeless people. the hommage to those he met is hung along angels and figurative sculptures, arranged as if to protect us and them.

walking through the narrow corridors and turning left once more, crossing the garden, past the sauna into the yard before the emporium- the atmosphere was described like being in a church. a hall of greatness. green colours greeted below the black sky, seated on the concrete floor some simply remained : looking, listening, allowing time to pass out there.
the emporium was lit in reds and oranges, strikingly marking the passage. car lights shone through the sitetex wall and allowed the centerpiece to hold attention- now eyes were looking up and eyes were looking straight at you.

in the garden Lee Fükke’s piece kept glowing. once these forms were holding fire, reload wood ! burning away in the night, marking an important assembly point these volumpteaus shapes of metal wiring provide warmth and light.
the sizzeling formed an acoustic backdrop for mondane talk : as a longterm witness reported ! Beatrix Blaise was in the sauna at the time the fire burned. her body painted on by Sirus boasted eyes in striking white, her skin wore a silky faketan – call it bronze.  she moved and froze to stillness surrounded by her installation : rusty metal on white hung in the sauna. Having embarked on a longdurational performance she felt like being the creep in the background, as she mused afterwards. people talked and stood and sat around the fire, the creep moved at times but mostly remained still. with painted eyes on places, she was breathing the night in its own right, pointing out presence in the performance’ subtlety.

the following days people returned, photos were taken. then Sirus work was taken down and moved. for once a street artist’s work could move.
and one frame remained. it is beautiful without the wheat pastings, its a three dimensional object assembled from different parts and its missing nothing. it speaks Sirus, who by now has started buidling a house out of wood on Anatum’s rooftop. And when you come inside the gallery the glass front hosts his scratching, leaving a shadow migrating with the sun.

TANK ISOLATION

Schedule an appointment with Justin Tyler Tate, on the 28th and 29th of January, at Anatum’s Abode for an intimate experience of art and sensory isolation. The installation will allow viewers to pardon themselves from the confines of gravity, light and sound so that only their mind is left as a tool of perception. The artist presents a situation and ritual to induce the subject to receive the art experience as that which happens inside the isolation tank. Through the confines of the installation, the viewer is removed from observing scale, material and therefor being absolved in the perceptual certainty of time and space.

Participants agree to enter the isolation tank nude or wearing a bathing suit, to be filmed/photographed at any point during their experience (except when enclosed in the tank) and interviewed afterwards. Please email Justin Tyler Tate at anatumsabode@gmail.com with your preferred date (28th or 29th), the duration you would like to spend in the tank (45min – 2hours) as well as your preferred starting time (scheduling will happen between the hours of 9am and 8pm).
