What made the collectivity of the show shine through for me is directly related to the performed object or lack thereof in the case of Jennifer's installation. She performed the absence of objects, the white wall, white chair and white clothing acted as symbolically void tools to search within. Meanwhile however, Francisco performed and embodied gold leaf and maple syrup, and Patrick performed a bunny mask, robe, silly string, and an egg. These gestures created individual political, economic and cultural resonance. Derya performed pornography and Grant, a tube and sink. Both of these performances seemed to negate the notion of a closed body. Anna's practice station, although not through her own body, made it possible for the audience to perform the designated objects. Mariana facilitated the performance of two contrasting outfits. Similarly did Jennifer explore materiality and performativity by facilitating the performance of fabric. These installations resonated with the intention of sharing experiences together and with materiality.
