Re-Visit: KALEIDOSCOPE Live: The Archive Box – Urr

Posted

Composer and performer Neil Luck uses sound, music, text and gesture in this performance, taking inspiration from Modern Art Oxford’s archive.

Urr is an allegorical narrative irresponsibly extrapolated from a series of correspondences between Modern Art Oxford and the artist Saburo Murakami during the 1986 show Reconstructions. Articulated through text, sound and gesture, Murakami’s ‘Box’ finds itself in a pataphysical orbit around memory, faulty simulacra, nostalgic reminisces and unsteady futures.

This performance took place at the gallery on 1 September 2016.
