Floor 2. Chicago, IL
TAITAI +/-/x/÷Tina (she/it):
TAITAI +/-/x/÷Tina (she/it)÷Tina works in an ecosystem of movement research for performance that leads to object (film photo and ceramics) making which is fed back into performative installations. She presents her body and performs with organic materials in all states of their hydration to emphasize the malleability, humor, and fragility of the human condition.
Negotiating a freedom in self expression with the safety of conformity and belonging (to society) are key themes in xTina's work. By inconveniencing the resistant body with burdensome organic and inorganic objects, she challenges assumptions about where these objects belong, who belongs with them, and their relationship to living bodies.
For a list of her pedigree, please visit the website of -Tina. Recently, +Tina presented work through W.I.H.S.H. projects, Roman Susan, No Nation Art Lab, Comfort Station, Siren Arts, and the Graham Foundation. Her past work has also been hosted by Essex Gallery, FiveMyles, Monte Vista Projects, Field Projects, Dixon Place, Radiator Gallery, New York Live Arts, ChaShaMa, Judson Memorial, Local Projects, to name a few.
