TOMORROW IS CANCELLED


May 29 - May 29,2024

From the organizers:
"Tomorrow is Cancelled is a one-night, multi-media installation and performance presented by theater artist Jim Findlay in collaboration with sound/video artist Jim Dawson and performer Cyrus Moshrefi. Described as a “ritual performance exploring the constructive use of violence,” the work is presented in conjunction with our current exhibition, HOST: Fusebox.
Beginning at 8P with a cocktail reception and film-installation, at 8:45pm the audience will gather within an audio-visual environment that unfolds and develops over time, including participatory and performance elements. Audiences are encouraged to move freely through the performance space, with some limited seating provided.
A school bus fight in North Texas. An intricately impossible escape from Iran. A sanctuary for spiritual violence in a former nunnery. All are situations and sites through which the artists consider societal effects and experiences of violence via the mediums of film, audio, and performance.
The galleries will be open for viewing HOST: Fusebox and Lubaina Himid: Make Do and Mend. See below for the schedule of the night.
