For three weeks in November galleries, theatres, and public spaces are transformed into arenas at the intersection of live and the visual arts. Performa Premieres, a subset initiative that shows live works never before seen in New York, has brought Los Angeles-based Erika Vogt for the fourth iteration\u00a0of\u00a0 \u201cArtist Theater Program\u201d at Roulette, an unpretentious venue on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArtist Theater Program\u201d is an exercise in collaboration.\u00a0Created through an informal working process between Vogt and a myriad of peers (the cast includes Math Bass, Shannon Ebner, Lauren Fisher, Dylan Mira, Silke Otto-Knapp, Adam Putnam, and Nora Slade), these artists have come together to produce a two-night run of their cumulatively lead practice. Here, individual styles and agendas create a collage<em>\u00a0<\/em>of multi-disciplinary and somewhat disjointed acts that are woven together under the umbrella title of \u201cLava Plus Knives\u201d<em>.<\/em> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26138\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/EDIT2IMG_9330-copy.jpeg\" alt=\"Erika Vogt, Artist Theater Program, 2015.

While the cast made use of the empty circle of flooring by moving rudimentary props (large cardboard boxes, rolling steel panels of paintings), manipulating objects and costumes to reflect light and shadows, dabbling in audience interaction, and speaking into hung microphones.\u00a0As such, the dynamics of the group and the mechanics of the theatre unfolded artist-to-artist and artist-to-audience, evolving over the course of one hour and spanning a cacophony of 19 visual and auditory vignettes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26142\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/EDIT4IMG_9421-copy.jpeg\" alt=\"Erika Vogt, Artist Theater Program, 2015.

Photo by Paula Court, courtesy of Performa.<\/p>\n<p>The social ideal of the \u201cgroup\u201d set forth by politicians and theorists can often resemble a sort of utopia. As the &#8220;Artist Theater Program&#8221; explores in their own creative process: how can the individual exist while maintaining the collective? This idea is delineated in Charles Aubin\u2019s introductory curatorial text as\u00a0<em>idiorrythmy<\/em>, a Greek term explored by Roland Barthes as a means through which one can explore \u201ca productive way of living communally while at the same time preserving and respecting each individual\u2019s rhythm&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26137\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/EDITIMG_9451-copy.jpeg\" alt=\"Erika Vogt, Artist Theater Program, 2015.

Photo by Paula Court, courtesy of Performa.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the most eloquent performative acts appeared within the form of the disparate solos. Vogt\u2019s \u201cNow is Dead\u201d\u00a0is a durational and cathartic monologue where the personal meets the political, while Adam Putman\u2019s sculptural \u201cInterlude III (Dawn)\u201d makes use of the architectural space in softer contemplative moments of light, shadow and sound. Math Bass ascends the metaphorical soapbox that is positioned centre-stage and recites a speech with the throaty cadence of a preacher, while later working with Lauren Fisher to assemble and reassemble the DIY stage props.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26139\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/EDIT3IMG_9567-copy.jpeg\" alt=\"Erika Vogt, Artist Theater Program, 2015.

Both are destructive forces; however, collaboration is a natural occurrence that homogenises all within its path by the mercy of its non-discriminatory power; whereas hierarchy, a manufactured tool, is divisive and deliberate in its destruction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Text von<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/?s=Devon+Caranicas\" target=\"_blank\">Devon Caranicas<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/15.performa-arts.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Performa 15<\/a> takes place in New York until 22 November 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mehr: <a title=\"Kareem Lotfy and Brenna Murphy Aestheticize the Tech Excess\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/showroom\/2015\/11\/artists-murphy-and-lotfy-aestheticize-tech-excess\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Kareem Lotfy and Brenna Murphy Aestheticize the Tech Excess<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mehr: <a title=\"\u2018Jonny\u2019 \u2013 a Show Where Pleasure is Your Guide\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/showroom\/2015\/11\/jonny-a-show-where-pleasure-is-your-guide\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">\u2018Jonny\u2019 \u2013 a Show Where Pleasure is Your Guide<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erika Vogt, Artist Theater Program, 2014 &#8211;
