From the Africa Atlanta web site:
With live
music by the band Moon Medicine, multimedia and performance artist Sanford Biggers presents a montage of
his three-part film suite Shuffle, Shake and Shatter as
part of the Africa Atlanta 2014 celebration. The film follows the Brazilian
Ricardo as he navigates German society and the story continues to Sao Paulo and
then to West Africa in this exploration of the formation and dissolution of
identity.
An LA
native working in NYC, Sanford Biggers creates artworks that integrate film,
video, installation, sculpture, drawing, original music and performance. He
intentionally complicates issues such as hip hop, Buddhism, politics, identity
and art history in order to offer new perspectives and associations for
established symbols. Through a multi-disciplinary formal process and a
syncretic creative approach he makes works that are as aesthetically pleasing
as they are conceptual.
Please
note: This is a general admission event. Seating is on stage for this
performance.
