SUMMARY:Gestating Baby Volume 6: Mia Martelli and Justin Maxwell
DESCRIPTION:The Brick presents\nGestating Baby Volume 6: Mia Martelli and Justin Maxwell\nSeptember 21-23\, 2023\nat Brick Aux – 628 Metropolitan Ave\n730pm \nFeaturing Two New Works \nSitting by a body of water in the dark by Mia Martelli and Moise and the World of Reason\, adapted from the Tennessee Williams novel by Justin Maxwell \n*** \n \nSitting by a body of water in the dark\nby Mia Martelli \nSitting by a body of water in the dark is a neon duet set on the beach that establishes and destroys improvisational forms\, poetry\, and prayer. \nPerformed by Mia Martelli\, Nina Guevara and Noa Rui-Piin Weiss\nSound edited by Mia Martelli\nVideos sourced from Ewa Partum’s Active Poetry (1971) \nSitting by a body of water in the dark mythologizes Ewa Partum’s 1971 performance film “Active Poetry”\, in which Partum’s tosses paper letters into various natural environments\, letting them be carried by the wind or water. Set on the beach and in a wash of 90s electronic music\, this duet confronts the invisible with movement\, vocalizations\, and animal imagery. Language\, prayer\, and karaoke crest and fall and reduce to somatic potential. \nImage Credit: Photographed by Mia Martelli\, of Nina Guevara and Noa Rui-Piin Weiss \n\n\n\n\n\ncw: sudden loud noises.\n\n\n\n\n\nFind them: Miamartelli.com IG: @mia.martelli \nSitting by a body of water in the dark was created while in residence with MOtiVE Brooklyn\, The Monira Foundation\, and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council on behalf of Shana Crawford.
