WHIZ CONFLUXX

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Royal NoneSuch Gallery presents WHIZ CONFLUXX, during which the collaborative network Whiz World will activate the gallery in three phases: as temporary studio and performance space (WHIRKSPACE), a convivial celebration and opening (CONFLUXX CLIMAXX) and exhibition of the works formed and used (AFTERGLOW DELTA).

WHIZ WORLD is a quarterly publication, collaborative network, and evolving art machine. It highlights the lived experiences of women and non-binary artists with two driving principles: each whiz is an expert in their lived experience, and play creates imaginative solutions to grave conflicts. Whiz World writes from a speculative magical feminist perspective, uses allegory and magical language to scrutinize the current political climate, and combats pervasive misogyny. Whiz World invites contributors to adopt and write from a whiz persona that encapsulates their essential power. They practice a reverence for ecological entanglements and the bodily experience.

During the studio phase WHIRKSPACE, local and traveling whizzes will work with the ideas of ECOLOGIES and UNLEARNING. The artists will respond to these ideas using their personal and collective work-play through writing, drawings, video, performance, and collective movement, and the construction of the Great Basin. Thinking about the dizzying spell that occurs when oscillating between the extremes of fires and floods, scarcity and wealth in fatal excess, WHIZ CONFLUXX is exploring and dissecting the relationships and environments (both human and non-human) that comprise, feed, and starve our esse. Visitors to the gallery in July might encounter: whizzes making whiz garb in which they will wrap themselves with materials that facilitate the oozing of their true whiz selves; the creation of drawings around unlearning history; a series of body centering and somatic meditations that explore how we inhabit our internal and external landscapes; or a performance in which performer/participants explore how we orient ourselves to landscape and to each other, objects, and memories.

The studio phase leads to the August 2 opening event: the CONFLUXX/CLIMAXX. The convivial choreography of the event will be an activation of the Great Basin, where fluids are exchanges and imbibed. Finally, the Great Basin and other by-products from the collaborative work-play of the whiz occupation of Royal NoneSuch Gallery will remain in the gallery as AFTERGLOW DELTA for visitors to experience throughout the remaining weeks of the exhibition.
