4.16.16 Wickerham & Lomax
Take Karaoke: A Proposition for Performance Art
Saturday, April 16, 2016
8:00 pm
This Saturday, we will host an open rehearsal and conversation with artists Wickerham & Lomax. The artists are in residence this week at collective address, and will shift their video work, Take Karaoke: A Proposition for Performance Art, into a live piece.
To rsvp email [email protected]
Wickerham & Lomax
Wickerham & Lomax will be artists in practice from April 11 to April 16, 2016.
Wickerham & Lomax is the collaborative name of Baltimore-based artists Daniel Wickerham (b. Columbus, Ohio, 1986) and Malcolm Lomax (b. Abbeville, South Carolina, 1986). Their practice is based on the accelerated exchange of frivolous information, gossip, and codified language that crystallizes into accessible forms in hopes of giving dignity to that exchange.
Formerly known as DUOX, the artists have been working together since 2009 across diverse media, curatorial platforms, and institutional contexts, creating a body of work at once context-specific and broadly engaged with networked virtualities. They continue to develop a digital narrative franchise entitled BOY’Dega, which considers dissolving hierarchies between, author, character, actor, and fan. Wickerham & Lomax are particularly invested in questions of identity and the body, exploring the impact of digital technologies and social spaces on the formation of subjectivities and speculative corporealities. They have describe their practice as being full of “fan boy hissy fits.”
urgencies
20 Feb 2015
We traveled to Los Angeles to research our urgencies platform, to ask questions of each other, of the artists, thinkers, friends that we met there about how to re-imagine our work in relation to the contemporary surround of violence, of racism, and the failure of language and accountability. We had been reading Claudia Rankine’s Citizen: An American Lyric (2014) as she so profoundly stages the broken optics of citizenship through quotidian encounter, a devastating poetics of how we are invisible to each other. I am sorry, I am sorry, I am so sorry…But also the possibility to engage differently…
JJ: I want to ask a question that doesn’t have the words aesthetics or representation in it.
KK: I agree. I think that the concept of shadow is not only the concept of darkness but also a metaphor for dealing with things, it is memory stuck in the shadow. A psychoanalytic idea of that thing that follows you, that carries forth, and that is not always the negative.
It’s about reimagining…
JJ: …love and exchange and fellowship.
KK: That in and of itself encapsulates exactly what we’re talking about. We’re valuing exchange, the one on one or the more intimate exchange and love as a way of engaging with this reimagining.
JJ: …… It feels risky because the work is always so close to life.
KK: As it should be.
Engaging various modes of address across disciplines, we produce both public and private events that include actions, conversations, performances, screenings and other formats. The events develop from research and practice-based introspection that examines choreography as both concept and practice.

a.k. burns
A.K. Burns’ recent work, A Smeary Spot, reimagines the genre of science fiction wherein both documentary and fantasy construct a narrative of bodies in transition and their relationship to nature, technology, territories and resources. Drawing on the work of a wide range writer/thinkers form the likes of Johanna Russ and Octavia Butler to Leo Bersani and Karen Barad, Burns’ work extends questions of assimilation, intentional community, agential realism to material and sonic form. Her research at collective address will take the form of audio experiments and recording sessions with other artists as well as a sound stage for the filming of the work.
A.K. Burns is an artist who lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She has exhibited both collaborative and solo works internationally and is a recipient of the 2015 Creative Capital Foundation Visual Arts Award.

hilary clark
How do we cultivate a choreographic practice? What conditions are required to sustain the work? What does each dancer bring to rehearsal and what are the ways we keep deepening our practice? In her new series Under the influence: dancer to dancer conversations, Hilary Clark invites dancers to rehearse with her in the studio of collective address. These sessions focus on rehearsal as process asking how each artist defines practice through language, movement, improvisation, dialogue, and the significance of silence. Invited artists include: Kayvon Pourazar, Michelle Boulé, Addys Gonzalez, Aretha Aoki, Molly Lieber and Omagbitse Omagbemi culminating in talks with Chrysa Parkinson.
In parallel to these rehearsals, Clark will also continue to research and develop her new work Duet for/with/including Jen # 4.

JJ: …… It feels risky because the work is always so close to life.
KK: As it should be.
urgencies is a series of intimate dialogues examining the conjunction of social movements, forms of protest and language protocols. We ask how we orient ourselves in relation to the contemporary surround of racism, violence and political stasis through individual and collective practice.
Engaging various modes of address across disciplines, we produce both public and private events that include actions, conversations, performances, screenings and other formats. The events develop from research and practice-based introspection that examines choreography as both concept and practice.
