ART PERFORMANCES BY:
Natology presents PSEUDO & MORPH
Featuring Jos McKain’s performance Oxidation and visuals by video artist Lindsay Scoggins. Pseudo & Morph is a meditative performance on the devolution of the human body and its ability to shift into an amorphous state. This meditation is intended to diffuse gender pairing, silhouetting a nude male and juxtaposing him against Scoggins’ signature video work. The ideas center on replication as a form of evolution, both intellectually and socially. First the art becomes you, and then you become the art. http://www.natologyproject.com/
