Description
Each story told is an act of shaping the world. Bending the Word brings together four artists who employ a range of media—including video, live performance, installation, drawing, and small-scale publications—to actively reinterpret larger shared narratives, ranging from ancient fables and religious texts to official histories and current events.Tris Vonna-Michell’s performances capitalize on the energy of a live situation to shape each telling and retelling of a narrative. hahn/huhn, evolving since 2004, is delivered rapidly and densely, with slides, photographs, and props, to weave intricate fusions and confusions of identity in the biographies of three individuals in postwar Germany: Reinhold Hahn; Reinhold Huhn; and Otto Hahn.
