Situated within the exhibition Andrew Kerton and George Henry Longly will present a performance in response to Longly’s exhibition of the same name. Using duality, repetition, chord and discord as strategies to unpack and reiterate the mechanics of the exhibition, the performance engages with issues around relativism and activation that are at play in Longly’s installation. This new work is guided by Kerton’s background in performance and choreography and is the first collaboration between the artists.
