Vljudno vas vabimo, da se nam pridružite v petek, 9. aprila, ob 19. uri na platformi ZOOM in si v živo ogledate performans v mešani resničnosti Nokturno v črni in zlati (Nežni iteracija # 5)/Nocturne in Black and Gold (The Tenders iteration #5), umetniškega tandema ATOM-R (Judd Morrissey in Mark Jeffery) v sodelovanju z umetnikom Abrahamom Avnisanom. Performans si bo možno ogledati tudi na
kiblix.org/streaming.

Dokumentacija performansa bo kasneje razstavljena v sklopu razstave KIBLIX 2021: Virtualni svetovi danes na KIBLA Portalu.
Se zgodovina ponavlja ali jo samo ponovno pripovedujemo? Ali lahko priredba pesmi obnovi del izvirnika ali izvora ali ga le globlje pokoplje? Projekt Nežni (The Tenders), ki sta ga ustvarila ATOM-r (Judd Morrissey in Mark Jeffery) v sodelovanju z Abrahamom Avnisanom, je serija osebnih zoom performansov v mešani resničnosti, ki uporabljajo priredbe znanih pesmi kot sredstvo raziskovanja načinov, kako so osebne in politične zgodovine pisane, prepisane in ponovno napisane. Delo sopostavlja hommáge Loyu Bowlinu, rhinestone kavboju, in 3D skene mesta Fort Dearborn, zgodnje ameriškega garnizona, iz katerega se je kasneje razvilo mesto Chicago. S postavitvijo razkošne tradicije rhinestone kavboja ob bok zgodovini avtohtonega genocida in izgona staroselcev projekt Nežni (The Tenders) želi razviti in pokviriti kolonialne pripovedi, zasidrane globoko v ameriški domišljiji.

ATOM-r (Judd Morrissey and Mark Jeffery) in collaboration with Abraham Avnisan:

Nocturne in Black and Gold (“The Tenders” iteration #5)

We kindly invite you to join us on Friday, 9 April, at 7 p. m. CET at ZOOM for a live mixed-reality performance Nocturne in Black and Gold (The Tenders iteration #5) by ATOM-r (Judd Morrissey and Mark Jeffery) in collaboration with Abraham Avnisan. The performance will also be live streamed at
kiblix.org/streaming.

The performance documentation will be later on exhibited at the KIBLIX 2021: Virtual Worlds Now exhibition at KIBLA Portal.
Does history repeat itself or do we just repeat the telling of it? Can a cover song recover something of the original, of the origin, or only bury it more deeply? The Tenders, created by ATOM-r (Judd Morrissey and Mark Jeffery) in collaboration with Abraham Avnisan, is a series of in-person and zoom-native mixed reality performances that engage with the cover song as a means of exploring the ways in which personal and political histories are written, re-written, and written over. The work juxtaposes an homage to Loy Bowlin, »the original rhinestone cowboy«, with 3D scans of the site of Fort Dearborn, an early American garrison out of which the city of Chicago was incorporated. Placing the flamboyant tradition of the rhinestone cowboy in relation to the history of indigenous genocide and expulsion, The Tenders seeks to invert and queer colonial narratives lodged deep within the American imaginary.
