This fall, PERFORMA 13 will host three duets, seven variations, a series of performances that pairs six intergenerational artists for seven programs as part of radical presence: black performance in contemporary art. In advance of their duets performances this weekend, Pope.L (A '96, F '04) and Zachary Fabri (A '13) will meet for the first time, and along with associate curator Adrienne Edwards, discuss the linkages between their practices and dealings with shared themes but to different ends—body and movement, social and political issues, the abject, and interventions in urban spaces.

skowheganCONVERSATIONS is a discussion series celebrating the significance of the dialogue that takes place outside of the studio, the classroom, and the gallery. Many generative moments at Skowhegan happen between formal discussions, critiques, and lectures, when participants and faculty have the opportunity to delve deeply into the topics that inform their work and practices. These moments happen while lounging after dinner, on the lawn in the afternoon sun, and in a myriad of other landscapes and times when boundaries are dissolved, and real discourse can take place.       

Featuring Artists:

Pope.L (A '96, F '04)
Zachary Fabri (A '13)
