I ALMOST EXPECT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A CHAIR (FOR INTIMATE CIRCLE)
Ateliers Belleville, Monréal, QC.
June 1, 2019

Spotlights. Intro speech recognizing the circles of connection (within a community). Expressing gratitude. Mirror and vanilla extract (in a spray bottle). Materializing memory (of self and others) through time and labor:

11-minute spot jump to "I Almost Expect to be Remembered as a Chair (for snare drum)" by Jon Muller, with grapes in mouth, and a blossoming rose Gif.

Created in the context of SurvivÂmes, a fundraiser for VIVA! Art Action, with the constraint of using the festival's archives as source material/inspiration leading to action.

Duration: Approximately 20 minutes [excerpt]
