STATEMENT:
important things come in threes was inspired in part by a dream and in another part by a joke made to a fellow artist about performance art. There are three videos and three “stations” that are to be experienced in an open-ended way. This piece explores video as performance and audience as performer. This is a joke, but this is serious. This is serious, but this is a joke. “The power of three will set us free.”

BIO:
x, a first-generation Afro|Asian-Jamaican USian, is a queer agender transdisciplinary artist. With a background in theatre and dance, an affinity towards multi-dimensional sensory experiences, and a life|dream of trauma + fun, x creates a web across their art, identity, and lived experiences. We gravitate towards performance as it is natural and naturally occurring to be performative. Our hopes lie in the transcendent, visceral, and cathartic. [x uses they/ze/we pronouns]
