n this duet, Cristina Bartley Dominguez and Catherine Chen, engage in the slow practice of transporting a boulder sculpture made of synthetic and natural materials (earth, plastics, trash etc). Scored to the city soundscape, they will transport the boulder sculpture by inhabiting a series of tableau-like gestures and positions, embodying the tensions and burdens of a mythic coastline.
wearekrater.org/gisellexearthworksEarthworks is a collaboration by multidisciplinary artists Cristina Bartley Dominguez and Catherine Chen, who explore rites, ritual spaces, and ancestral knowledge. Through their incorporated practice of image-making, movement, sound, text, and installation, they create performance-based works that address the natures of catastrophe and mythology, belonging and inheritance, through the lens of their Mexican and Taiwanese ancestries.
