"Living Entropy"

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.

Structures: @ganjeesh @timeclocktaylor 
Players: @jeanelle_mastema @ewokgia @robuchholz

This iteration of Skin:NYC brought together elements of body suspension, technology, and installation art in a gallery setting, without having to build a gallery from scratch for the first time. Hosted at Superchief in Brooklyn, NY, it featured work designed by a multitude of artists in the body suspension community.

We are starting to work on a series of new projects as we wait and see which way the pandemic is headed, before we host a large public event again.

As it turns out, body suspension can be a great user interface for a video game, and visitors can enjoy watching others play.

The great thing about video games is that they are available for anybody to play. Got hands? Grab a seat. With Tethered Hearts, all you need is a heart, and some skin. The commonality of accessability between the suspension medium, and that of playing a game are a bizarre intersection, but an important one today where social inequalities are getting more apparent than ever before. The color of your skin, or how you choose to identify are not factors that will prevent you from being able to suspend, play, or both at the same time. We're all just trying to have a better human experience.
