Under the auspices of Performance Works NW Alembic series I have curated a selection of brand new and revisited works from three daring experimental video performance artists. What will happen and where will we go? We’ll find out as I put our faithful expeditioners: Ed Mellnik, Stephanie Simek and Adam Keller in charge of this journey.

Stephanie Simek

Statement for Brea(d)th:

It's sad that the air is the only
thing we share.
No matter how close we get to each other,
there is always air between us.

It's also nice that we share the air.
No matter how far apart we are,
the air links us.
-Yoko Ono


Drawing from the poem “Air Talk” by Yoko Ono (which later became a song on her Approximately Infinite Universe album in 1973), this performance connects participants in various cities around the world in a real-time experience of global community. Brea(d)th uses webcams positioned at the sky from these different locations, with each member reciting a dissected part of the poem, causing the fragments of speech to converge, disengage, and layer when broadcasted together.



Stephanie Simek

Lately I've been thinking about the powers that every individual has and what would happen if everyone decided to use them. If each person inspires another to stretch his or her mind, imagine what we all could do! If you're reading this, then we probably share some things in common. Isn't that nice? You can find me in Portland, Oregon, USA or through the internet at Stephanie@StephanieSimek.com.

Adam Keller

An ArcEnabled Performance

Part ritual, part laser light show, Adam Keller debuts a performance based on a video installation he recently created for Portland's PDXFest in May. Thousands of strings hanging from above form a canopy of colored lights, and are accompanied by sound collage and vocal performance. This piece follows an arc from the quiet hum of nighttime rainfall to a fully enabled state of awareness, where anything is possible, and all choices present themselves at once.
