WE.ARE and Kustera Projects are delighted to announce the exhibition ULAY & JASA: Cutting Through the Clouds of Myth, a site-specific installation and performance curated by Mitra Khorasheh. The exhibition will be on view from May 6 - June 1, 2016, at Kustera Projects, with a special 3-day opening reception performance by the artists on May 6, 7, and 8, from 6-10pm.
ULAY'S last performance project in New York was in 1986. This exhibition will mark ULAY's return to the city after 30 years, for a collaboration with the Slovenian artist JASA who he met in 2012...the conversation began...
A pioneer and central figure of performance art since the 1970's, ULAY's most recent artistic activity has focused on environmental issues, specifically on initiatives that raise awareness, enhance the understanding, appreciation and respect for our most precious resource: water.
One of Slovenia's most prolific and critically acclaimed artists, JASA transforms spaces into experiences, driving them toward their poetic and ecstatic potentials. His most recent project was the highly acclaimed installation and performance series he produced for the Venice Biennial in 2015.
Cutting Through The Clouds of Myth is a series of actions, an intimate happening, an experiential installation, a language of communication, a provoking exploration of dualities, a setting of madness and tranquility, mockery and admiration. The result: an optimistic consciousness. A dialogue of togetherness. Presence. Spirit. Matter. Hope.
