Dorit Cypis has been stitching together disparate parts of personal identity, history, politics, and social relations as FabLab since early October, exposing an artist’s process of inquiry. FabLab (the artist and her archive), is a whimsical and pragmatic performance of the parts with the public as witness to inner/inter reflections and scrutiny that build patterns and symmetries across histories, space and time.
“The scale is like a shinny cold-blooded serpent waiting patiently for a body to be weighed. It’s metal skin, like fish scales out of water now drying in the light of the overhead gallery lights, still seems moist as if it had been in a recent encounter with a liquid. At its base there are inscribed letters in a script type like a tattoo, spelling the word “History”, as if we didn’t know. How can we not know that a body’s weight is the weight of an experienced history, a life with measured paths through highs and lows, interiors and exteriors, very, very private and oh so public.”
She will be performing at two separate times on Saturday, 4:00 – 5:00pm and 5:00 – 6:00pm.
The two performances are limited seating and on a first come first serve basis. Please RSVP the time slot you wish to be a part of at rlopez@18thstreet.org.
