Gracelands 2011
I worked on the annual screenings / sculptural / performance event Gracelands 2011 as assistant curator with a focus on the outdoor live production of Ulla von Brandenburg’s Chorspiel.

Gracelands 2011: Substance Abuse explores the idea of altered consciousness, considering how the capacities and functions of material (substance) are stretched and reconfigured in the process of making artworks.
It also considers how the substance of an argument or idea can be represented or interpreted to prioritise understanding over knowing.
The programme continues with a presentation of Chorspiel by Ulla von Brandenburg. This work is performed by a choir conducted by Joachim Saxenborn with actors Dan Reardon, Lauren Larkin, Bush Mourkarzel, Sarah Jane Scaife & Janyce Condon.
