You haven’t seen me all summer, I’ve missed your texts, calls, events, openings, emails, baby things, weddings probably. I’ve been deep in the lab. Here’s what I’ve been doing.   ICE TIME is now open at ILY2 Portland, Oregon. @ily2.ily2  This has been a very special project for me, initiating the acute exercise of both new and ancient rusty muscles. The show is the result of a tremendous opportunity to indulge my favorite and most meaningful way of working, in which I’m allowed space to architect an idiosyncratic ecology of forms, languages, and conditions. The show is cryptic forensic storytelling comprised of material hybrids, double exposures, and surgical grafts of skins and surfaces that both cloak and reveal. The accompanying performance, Untitled Figure (THE CENTER OF IT ALL) was triggered by proximity and encounter with the remarkable Lloyd Center Mall and the psychic and historical resonance of the ice rink at its heart. Grand gestures are my goddamn thing, so the chance to so formally and dramatically reunite with and ransack my body’s memory palace and the forms that comprise its deep inscription is—and remains—a literal dream come true.   This was made possible by the incredible support of ILY2 @ily2.ily2 who proved to be a collaborative entity beyond comparison. In my privileged years of producing and collaborating, I have rarely felt so respected, supported, and lovingly pushed to make my best work. The condition of trust and enthusiasm allowed this project to germinate and evolve profoundly as I decoded echoes, chased erratic breadcrumbs, and limped over emotional terrains, occasionally pausing to reassure everyone that “IT IS UNDER CONTROL”   Like all proper Traumedy Productions there is a full blown VILLAGE behind this show. THANK YOU to everyone who lent their expertise, labor, love, and generosity.   ⛸️♾️🩻🔟🔴⚫️🔵⚪️🟢🟤🟡🟣🟠🔟♾️⛸️ #amandarossho #ily2 #icetime #converge 45 FULL CREDITS IN NEXT POST!
