Soft Wall: Performance 9/18 & Dinner Salon 9/21
Soft Wall is an audience interactive performance created by Shua Group in collaboration with visual artist Sylvestre Gobart (Brussels). Soft Wall is driven by a silent proposition to the audience which creates/facilitates the performance and radically transforms the visual space. As the performance unfolds the identity of performer and spectator are questioned, roles shift, and the watchers become the watched.
Soft Wall is adapted to each city/locale it is realized based on cultural contexts.
Shua Group creates movement based artworks which encourage deep listening, human exchange, and spatial and perceptual transformation. The group's works include mass performances in public spaces, audience interactive events and site-specific and stage dance. Projects are built through choreography, improvisational structures, field recorded sound, and interactions with objects, sites and geography.
Shua Group is directed by Joshua Bisset and Laura Quattrocchi. www.shuagroup.org
Sylvestre Gobart is a Brussels-based visual artist working in the media of photography and video. Formally, his research in photography is focused on the relation between the topic in which he is working and the material he uses, which gives resonance to the idea of the work. He has had solo shows at Galeria sol Del Rio Guatemala, Bienale d Art contemporain de Dakar, Dakar, at ARTEBA in Buenos Aires, Argentina with the gallery ARTE x ARTE.
Soft Wall is presented in Detroit by Spread Art. www.spreadart.org. Additional support provided by Detroit Design Festival and Wallonie-Bruxelles International.
