Untitled (caretaker) is a livestreamed video performance by Xavier Cha where a performer, who wears a GoPro chest harness, can be seen moving alone in a rehearsal space. This work questions our roles as spectators and our familiarity with and access to modes of viewing and witnessing in our highly mediated cultures. Aiming to examine the experience many share of struggling in isolation, Untitled (caretaker) rethinks the performing body’s agency and questions the witnessing of bodies in times of crisis and collapse.
An exhibition and performance series curated by Lecturer in Visual Arts Colleen Asper that unspools the motion picture to situate performance in a continuum with film, featuring work by Will Rawls, Amy Beecher, Xavier Cha, Leila Weefur, Sahra Motalebi, and Maho Ogawa. Exhibition open 10/16-11/21 weekdays 9 AM – 6 PM.
