ICA Live: Experimental Performance Art Series | San Jose
The San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art launched ICA Live!, a new program that includes ongoing presentations of engaging and experimental performance art.
Presented during downtown San Jose’s South First Fridays, ICA Live! seeks to explore the role of the performance art medium in contemporary society. Focus is placed on live, interactive and participatory projects which engage members of the audience and may include experimental sound and sculptural elements.
On Friday, August 7, ICA Live! will feature Los Angeles-based artist Mary Younakof in a lively performance titled RGB. The artist will choreograph a series of movements with 49 volunteer participants wearing various colored dresses made by the artist, to create what will appear to be a visually engaging, human kaleidoscope.
Want to join in? The public is invited to participate in this performance. Interested participants should arrive at the ICA at 6 pm to select a dress to wear and to change in the coat-check area. The artist will choreograph a brief production in the park across from the ICA, with 49 participants wearing dresses from the project.
