Two Midwest natives who live in Bangkok, Thailand, return for a performance and installation of art inspired by their journeys. Artists Rebecca Vickers and Elissa Rae Ecker examine unexpected spaces and connections that appear when experiencing life abroad.
press release: per se per form - Visual artists and Bangkok-based Midwest natives, Rebecca Vickers and Elissa Rae Ecker, return for a Wisconsin summer with per se per form, an exhibition bringing together a collection of new works produced in Thailand that blur the boundaries between new-media, performance and installation art.
per se per form: When living and creating in a space which is unfamiliar, we are granted a freedom that allows for even the everyday to appear extraordinary. Unexpected connections develop alongside a persistent distance from the audiences and spaces one engages with. Roles are reversed, the observed stares back, the stage expands. Per se per form presents works of autonomous performances that explore and celebrate these perspectives living in the gaps - performing for audience, place, and perhaps one another with intent of equal proportion.
P.S. Enjoy tunes by WORT 89.9 FM DJ, Bootsy and your friend and mine, Bob as well as free souvenirs at the opening party on Saturday, July 13, 6pm. Good times await you, we promise.
