In Conversation: Will Rawls:

Using the techniques and technologies associated with photography, cinema, and the stage, Will Rawls’ [siccer] challenges divisions between the living, the captured, the rehearsed, and the performed.  In an image-saturated world wherein our technologies and identities are inextricably intertwined, [siccer] invites audiences to consider the verbal and physical play that marks how Black performance actively eludes capture and speculates on the potential for collective strategies of narrating the world, uncorrected.

On the occasion of the New York City premiere of [siccer], Rawls joins Matthew Lyons, Curator, and Angelique Rosales Salgado, Assistant Curator, in conversation at The Kitchen to discuss his practice, and explore the development and presentation of the project, originally commissioned by The Kitchen and now in its sixth iteration.

Co-presented by Performance Space New York and L’Alliance New York’s Crossing The Line Festival, the live performances of [siccer] accompany the artist’s exhibition at The Kitchen, a book published by Wendy’s Subway, and an album published by the artist.
