Things Will End Before They Start

Performance
November 2, 2007, 7pm

The Miami-based TM Sisters (Tasha and Monica López de Victoria) fuse elements of video and performance art with interactive video game technology. For Performa07, the artists will present their work Things Will End Before They Start. Using a play of innovative postures and expressions against a digitally simulated backdrop, the performance encourages interaction with the audience through the release of emotional and spiritual energy.

Two women in dresses and matching shoes are splayed up against a screen with their arms raised. There is an image projected over them, with a white background and black geometric pattern, and two splotches of red over their bodies.

Artists Space is pleased to present this event in conjunction with PERFORMA07, the Second Visual Art Performance Biennial.

The TM Sisters’ practice embraces a do-it-yourself ethic, reflecting their roots in previous independent endeavors such as throwing concerts, creating fanzines, and sewing clothing. Home schooled together as children in Florida, the sisters were raised around intense psychological and spiritual discussions regarding behavior, relationships, and truth.

Presented in collaboration with the Moore Space (Miami).
