performance
Seita’s performance plastic lip slot machine responds to the ‘drawing-writing’ or graphic poetry of Belgian artist Sophie Podolski, currently on show at Goldsmiths CCA, and explores a shared interest in both artists’ practices of new forms of embodying text or ‘reading’ the illegible.
The performance emerges from Seita’s ongoing practice of ‘touching language’ through performance, performative objects, sound, scores, somatic workshops, and textiles, and an ongoing preoccupation with other forms of sense making and sensual encounter with materials. It occurs against the backdrop of Seita’s series of textile works titled and and and also, which depict experimental graphic scores for imagined voices and abstract bodies, and also feature other props for making language malleable, or out of—as Podolski says—‘some plastic material’.
