DEAD PIXEL & THE DAXOPHONE CONSORT INVISIBLE TO WHOM “SEEINGDOUBLE”

by Pap Souleye Fall

Part of Black Aesthetics curated by Malcolm-x Betts & Arien Wilkerson

6:30pm Doors + Free Food | 7:30pm Show

Dead pixel, as in the screen of the monitor - a malfunction from a single-pixel creates a black dot. DP is here to destabilize and conger. I thought of that black dot as an entryway into what is understood as representation. The performance follows a foley of stage hands layered conversations, movement and disruption.

Performers: Channel Stone, Bobby Smith, Wendy Wilson, Aziz Fall, Voice Actors Rorie Still, Christopher Gulley, The Daxophone Consort, and id.Sus

PAP SOULEYE FALL

Pap Souleye Fall is a Senegalese-American artist who explores the transmedia potentials of sculpture, installation, performance, cosplay, digital media, and comics. Much of his work reflects his growing up within the Diaspora. Being of two worlds, Fall realized that through art he had the ability to construct his own worlds. As such, he became fascinated with the ways art could be embedded in everyday life, activating common materials and encounters to explore themes such as diaspora, post-apocalypse, Utopia, identity, notions of masculinity, Africanisms, and Afro-futurism.

 

Judson Arts continues the long tradition of arts ministry at Judson Memorial Church, a spiritual force in Greenwich Village for over 120 years, devoted to creative freedom, social justice, and progressive faith. From the acclaimed Judson Poets’ Theater and Judson Dance Theater to today’s Judson Arts programming, Judson embraces the necessity of art in our lives and nurtures an uncensored environment for innovative expression, considering all artists potential modern-day prophets who show us where we’ve been, who we are, and what we can become.

Our programmer/artistic director, Reverend Micah Bucey (he/they), currently serves as Minister at Judson Memorial Church in Greenwich Village, a congregation committed to curiously seeking the intersections between expansive spirituality, radical social justice, and uncensored creative expression. A graduate of Fordham University and Union Theological Seminary, Micah is also a regular film reviewer for Spirituality & Practice and a member of Interfilm, the international interchurch film organisation, twice serving as a member of the Ecumenical Jury for the Berlin International Film Festival. Micah believes that artists have the potential to serve as society’s modern-day prophets, showing us where we’ve been, who we are, and what we can become. Find out more at micahbucey.com.
