November 10, 2023 - December 10, 2023
Performance Saturday, December 2 from 6-9 PM
Open Hours Fridays, Sundays 4-7 PM and by appointment

Almost Like A Pasture is a constellation of sculptural props, tactile images, and performance gestures exploring the poetic parallels between people and horses, surveillance and pastures and power as it can be traced through haptic qualities of touch, heat, and friction in such relations.

Courtney Mackedanz is a transdisciplinary artist living and working in Chicago. Her work explores themes of embodied resistance and demonstrations of care within the context of received and embedded choreographic conditions such as wage labor, surveillance, or nervous system states. Mackedanz's practice incorporates critical research, creative writing, collaborative dancemaking, and image/sculptural experimentations to explore how expanded notions of the choreographic might structure, steer, catalyze, and constrain potentials in movement.
For the performance on December 2, Courtney will be joined by Jasmine Lupe Mendoza and Zachary Nicol.
