Layfigure

Produced as part of Paloma Proudfoot’s exhibition Glass Delusion, join us for a live performance of Layfigure, choreographed and performed by Aniela Piasecka with live music composed and played by Ailie Ormston.

The performance, which will take place in the City Dome Gallery, was created in dialogue with Proudfoot’s articulated mannequin sculpture of the same title.

A choreographic conversation emerges between Piasecka and the ceramic double, each movement both constrained and amplified by the creaking second body.

This exploration of corporeal ambivalence extends to Piasecka’s use of gaze, vacillating between inward scrutiny and external focus.The live score is adapted from Ormston’s new album, Impressions on and of guitar, and underpins this strange interaction, echoing the use of the ceramic sculpture in the act of playing guitar.Additional information: Seating will be varied.
