"Living Entropy"
Curated & Presented by Jessica Irvin
"Living Entropy" Written and Directed by Jessica Irvin (@louiseyourself)
Produced by Wolf & Sheep Productions (@wolfandsheepsuspensions) and Haus Serpens (@devilledance_co)

A journey of the flesh, the 2019 exhibition brings suspension practitioners, piercing enthusiasts, and alternative artists from across the globe to celebrate the athletic potential of the human body within the context of an immersive gallery setting. Flanked by performances featuring live cello-looping (Cellista), operatic performance art (Operafication), physical theatre (Haus Serpens), and spoken word (Jessica Irvin) the mediums of body/soul merge to create a multi-sensory transcendent experience.
The intersection between suspension, art, and ceremony spans history. Across the globe, humans have utilized anatomical practices as a conduit for reparative and revelatory experience. Such efforts to transcend the corporeal have been utilized as spiritual offerings, as a means of communication with the intangible, and, more recently, as a means toward reclamation and self-integration in an age of disconnection. The act of creating constellations in the sky with pierced bodies is a tradition that has been used with reverence, in ritual, and as a rite of passage amongst communities near and far.
