About:

Hector Canonge in collaboration with invited artists Lawrence Graham Brown (Jamaica/USA) and Antonio Ortuño (Spain) present the performance "NOWHEREISHERE" at FRAMING AIDS 2010 closing event reception on Sunday, December 19, 5 pm at the Queens Museum of Art: Partnership Gallery.

Description:

"NOWHEREISHERE” responds to this year's exhibition theme ABSENCE by challenging the public's general knowledge about the pandemic, and by proposing a better understanding of the conditions that afflict people living with HIV and AIDS. Positioning themselves as targets or predators, victims or heroes, the artists create a dynamic narrative that consists of dance, spoken-word, and repetitive movements. Inspired by their personal experiences, and drawing from a pull of texts written individually as they conceived the piece, they will leave their body imprints on a large canvas while combining their fragmented recitations as they spin in concentric motions during their presentation.
