\nSaturday, September 27th, 2025 at 8pm
\nBlack Mountain College Museum + Arts Center {120 College Street}
\nFREE and open to all \u2013 No Registration Required<\/p>\n
Join us on Saturday, September 27th for an interactive performance presented in conjunction with the 15th Annual ReVIEWING Black Mountain College International Conference. Kyriakos Apostolidis, gordon fung, Kim Nucci, Che Pai, and Kyle Price of \/\/sense, a Chicago-based neo-Fluxus theater troupe, will stage an immersive \u201ctheater of mixed means\u201d that weaves a metaphorical and metaphysical network through history, art, and life, paying homage to the legacy of BMC.<\/p>\n
This performance invites audiences to collectively revisit the past and reimagine the future. Through the embodied actions of its artists, the troupe transforms time and space into heterotopic sites where multiple centers across eras converge in the present moment. Conceiving individuals as living time capsules, the performers fuse human experiences into intellectual rhizomes, cultivating a shared terrain of intelligence, consciousness, and the cosmic mind.
\n___<\/p>\n
gordon fung (b. 1988, San Francisco, CA; lives in Chicago, IL) is a transdisciplinary artist-curator who works with large-scale curatorial\/collaborative practices, experimental audiovisual performances, new media installations, noise music, experimental film\/video, media archaeology, participatory works, and happenings. His works highlight unconventional executions like equipment misapplication, lo-fi presentations, and glitches. Such aesthetics confront the viewers\u2019 understanding, perspective, and point of view on reality through a more philosophical and esoteric investigation.

Kyriakos Apostolidis (b. Drama, Greece 1991) is a performance artist, movement researcher, and the founder of Morphoplastics, a practice-based research project in the field of performance studies\u2014an embodied investigation into the performer\u2019s body as a means of expression and knowledge. Their live performances present movement-based endurance actions while involving audio-visual installations at the intersection of art & technology. In addition to performing with \/\/sense, Kyriakos will present a workshop at ReVIEWING 15.
\n____<\/p>\n
Che Pai is a Chicago-based Taiwanese artist whose practice spans photography, performance, and meditation, primarily manifested through the medium of artist\u2019s books. His unique approach involves conducting images and employing book structures to invite play and performance, adding a dynamic layer to the contemplative journey of reading. Drawing inspiration from contemporary literature, slow cinema, and the physical theater of Tai Chi, Che\u2019s artwork transforms the reading experience into a multi-sensory exploration.

Kim Nucci is a Chicago\/Oakland-based media artist, composer, improviser, and technologist. They perform on electronics, synthesizers, and saxophones. In their studio practice, they create interactive installations using architectural intervention, light, projection, microcontrollers, temporary sculpture and painting. Nucci\u2019s research interests explore the pedestrian cybernetic body, critically examining our relationship with technology\/our instruments. Their solo performance practice is invested in ritualism and trance states in improvisation. They hold an MFA in Electronic Music and Recording Media, an MA in Music Composition from Mills College, and a BA from Bennington College.
