Little Berlin is hosting visiting artist Gary Setzer for a presentation of his performance piece: Supralingual/Sublingual: The Tounge is the Terrain. Join us as Gary shares his “nerdy audiovisual spectacle” in Philly for one night only!
“Supralingual/Sublingual: The Tongue is the Terrain, is a new performance by visual artist, Gary Setzer. Integrating video, live music, and performance art, Setzer metaphorically parallels the division between air and land with the division between language and its meaning. The surface of the landscape is the literal seam between the atmosphere and geosphere; as such, it becomes host to a range of metaphoric activity revealing both the poetry and gracelessness of straddling the language/meaning divide. Setzer posits himself here, merging electro nu-wave music and process-oriented performance art to deliver a nerdy audiovisual spectacle that recalls Joseph Beuys or Bruce Nauman as much as it does Devo.”
Check out the preview below, then dust off your horn-rimmed glasses and come on down to the gallery for some cold beer and hot electro nu-wave performance art.
