Buoyant (2024)

​

What does an audience remember when a performance is over? Does place hold memory?

​

Buoyant is a series of moving sculptures that activates gallery spaces. In this durational piece, the performers measure and charge the spaces between themselves, the more permanent artwork, and viewers. 

 

The show features choreography by Merce Cunningham (50 Looks),* Ainesh Madan (still/moving), and Dayita Nereyeth (moving/still), sound by Mario Schenker, and performance by Joshua Sailo and Dayita Nereyeth. The Buoyant trailer was created by Window Works Media.

​

Buoyant premiered on 28 April 2024 at the Visible/Invisible exhibition at the Museum of Art and Photography, Bangalore.
