I Try My Tongue (sequences)
PRICE
- –
PRICE (b.1986, Rio de Janeiro) creates encounters between performer and audience, characterised by theatrical aesthetics and soundscapes that incorporate the artist’s voice and body with references from pop, fashion and internet cultures.
He is interested in the ways that authenticity and affect are manufactured by performers and seeks to dismantle these as artificial, simultaneously unmasking and re-claiming them.
For the finissage of the exhibition After Laughter Comes Tears, PRICE will present I Try My Tongue (sequences), a performance in which the artist’s technique of ‘tonal plasticity’ challenges ‘the performative force of language’ based on vocal and technological experiments with English phenomes challenge language-based hegemony.
