Nature and the organic world inspires and instigates an evening of live works and conversation featuring Andrea Soto, Matt Rossi, and Justin Wong, curated by Stephanie Acosta for CPR’s OPEN STUDIOS. Playing with scale, perspectives and approach, nature takes us into itself, embedded in and emboldened by the landscapes and layers that make up our world.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Stephanie Acosta is an interdisciplinary artist, archivist and curator, placing the materiality of the ephemeral at the center of their practice, questioning meaning-making and manufactured-limitations. Acosta blends performance with practice-based research in facilitated processes, creating fleeting performance works that challenge site, space, and perception, to bring about shared experiences. Acosta works extensively with unseen histories with both the AUNTS and Jo Andres Archives, and has presented works with and for Museum of Art and Design, MCA of Chicago, OutFest, Knockdown Center, Montpellier Danse Festival, LMCC, La Mama, and has long-time collaborations with many artists and curators including Miguel Gutierrez, Alexis Wilkinson, Isaac Pool, Alexa Grae and Yanira Castro. Recently Acosta made their MoMA debut as director of Lugar de Consuelo (Place of Solace), a play conceived by Naufus Ramirez-Figueroa and written by Wingston Gonzalez. Currently their interdisciplinary exploration Lichen Baby, It’s Me Moss, looks at multitudes in fracture through melodrama with recent residencies through MacDowell, Danspace and Triangle in NYC. stephanieacosta.org
