8:30pm . Heather Kravas, dead, disappears

dead, disappears is a new solo work created and performed by Heather Kravas. Striving to reconcile the immediate with the verifiable, the work cites Richard Serra’s 1967 Verb List in an investigation of self-referencing action. Kravas also cites her own body of work and her body itself as it moves through a landscape of effortful states. Words and action vie for primacy, and language eclipses movement with a litany of acts that could be performed by, for and on the artist. Generating emotional intensity as a by-product of sensual formality, dead, disappears invites the audience to view the performer as simultaneously woman and object—and to see their own observation as completion of the artistic act.
