Existing in an alter-space, housing childhood fantasies and turbid adult obsessions, Ferver acts as the emotive flesh and voice inside of Swanson’s eery mirrored set/sculpture. Ferver delivers a performance that twists and turns between past and present with text ranging from pastoral prose to the maniacally confessional and haunting choreography built from interviews between the two artists, improvisation, and states of trance. It premiered in Houston as part of the first collaboration between Diverse Works and Contemporary Arts Museum of Houston and will go to the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston this July.</p> <p>“It is a mysterious, beautiful, angry and violent work…” -Theodore Bale, Artsjournal.com</p> <p><a href="https://www.vendini.com/ticket-software.html?e=6ca7a32f0a7a745160ba63220ce3c167&t=tix" target="_blank">Click here</a> for tickets.</p>http://jackferver.org/post/5758855417http://jackferver.org/post/5758855417Mon, 23 May 2011 00:54:00 -0400
