Performance: DEAD THOROUGHBRED
DEAD THOROUGHBRED, a collaboration between artists keyon gaskin and sidony o'neal, shared a performance on the 3rd of May, 2015, during CENTRAL’s informal symposium, Peripheral to What?
DT is a peri-conceptual, dis-experimental, a-nihilist, post-ratchet, deceptive non-band band. DT is a BLACKened performance that is never not happening. DT is après-queer and post-ratchet. DT is anti anti-capital capital. DT is heavy evasion – worthless. DT is useless currency devoid of value and wide in circulation. DT has null intension and null extension. DT is dead frivolous af. DT is detrital presence; an exhaustion of lack.
The photographs show traces of the performance at 232 SE Oak St., Portland, OR, United States. This performance was made possible by keyon gaskin, sidony o’neal, Taryn Tomasello and HQHQ Project Space.
