random memo random 2016

random memo random is a performance that highlights the implicit, tenuous, unwritten social contract entered into by an artist and audience in the context of performance, while also playing with the authority and privileged position of the archive in society. random memo random is an installation with a series of performances at TKM Warehouse that involve a performer jumping out of a hole toward a suspended filing cabinet, and accompanying documentation here at Aspinwall. Aki Sasamoto’s work is a mediation of the body and its movement through space, and explores the nuances and peculiarities of everyday life by embracing gestures that are simultaneously subtle and powerful.
