A Performative Dialogue Featuring Jacqueline Humphries and Felix Bernstein

A pair of images: Jacqueline Humphries and Felix Bernstein

With jHΩ1:) as the set, vanguard painter Jacqueline Humphries and writer and performing artist Felix Bernstein perform an improvised dialogue in our galleries. Two performances only.

Adapting a guided script written by Bernstein and employing improvisation, both artists will consider a range of topics such as mediated messaging, the influence of social and cultural design, iconography, branding as mark making, the shaping of culture by imagery and storytelling, repetition, impressions and influence, and acts of making and persuasion.
