JG Thirlwell works on Sylvie Fleury installation for Performa

JG Thirlwell

JG Thirlwell will be providing a composition and live sound processing to Sylvie Fleury‘s new interdisciplinary installation Instructions For Twilight. The work was commissioned by the Performa Biennial and will occur on November 22 and 23 at Water Street Projects WSA, 180 Maiden Lane in New York, on the 39th Floor.

For Instructions For Twilight, Fleury “takes the history of action-based performance, including Fluxus and Happenings, as a point of departure to reimagine a series of scores with her own inimitable twist on gender roles, serving as inspiration for a performance combining action, objects, and sound, with performers wearing costumes designed by Chris Peters.”

The work is co-produced with WSA and curated by Kathy Noble of Performa.

Sylvie Fleury’s Performa Commission is made possible with the generous support of Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Ford Foundation, Consulate General of Switzerland, Pro Helvetia, and Performa Commissioning Council Members Thaddaeus Ropac, Valeria Napoleone, and Jade Netanya Ullmann.
