If You Look At Something It’s Always Moving is a series of questions and answers that compose a dance. Created by choreographers Londs Reuter and marion storm, the work distills and uplifts the early moments of boundless imagining inside the creative process. Collaging voice, caption, and fantasy, the listening installation features a dynamic system of questions that form an imaginary dance—free of constraints like budgets or gravity or scheduling—in dialogue with artists and thinkers including Kayla Hamilton, Tess Dworman, Lai Yi Ohlsen, Luara Raio, Stephanie Acosta, Pauline L. Boulba, Aminata Labor, and Fritz Buehner, and captioning by Corvyn Dostie.
The work is an extension of Londs and storm’s project CONFERENCE CALL, which was presented by CPR in May 2021, and during Londs’s residency as a 2020-21 AiR. Over three Sundays, small groups convened on Zoom with their cameras off and their microphones on, guided through a series of scores involving listening, responding, cacophony/silence, and presence. If You Look At Something It’s Always Moving is a distillation of one of these scores, amplifying and paying tribute to descriptive practices (like audio description) that communicate a dance, where what you perceive is real.
On Friday, November 11 from 6–9 P.M., the Listening Installation will have live activations throughout the evening, and then will be open to the public with gallery hours on Saturday, November 12 from 12–6 P.M.
If You Look At Something It’s Always Moving is supported, in part, by a Late Stage Stipend from the Mertz Gilmore Foundation.
