EdgeCut: Captivity

Initially convening in January 2020 at NEW INC— the art, tech and design incubator at The New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York—EdgeCut’s online version of the performance series will offer a limited amount of sliding-scale tickets to participate in the various interactive events and artist talks hosted inside the 3D virtual platform NOWHERE.  Additionally, many of the performances will be free and open to the public via EdgeCut and partners’ websites as well as and various streaming platforms. The series is curated by Heidi Boisvert and Kat Mustatea.

This first virtual iteration of the series is titled and centered around the theme of CAPTIVITY and will feature an international group of artists selected from an open call including Carrie Sijia Wang, Emily Twines, Theater In Quarantine, Kate Ladenheim + The RAD Lab, Rourou Ye, Sadi Oortmood, Sylvain Souklaye, and XUE.

EdgeCut is a monthly performance series that convenes at NEW INC, the art, tech and design incubator at The New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York. We present short works of live performance that explore our complex relationship to the digital—looking at the many ways interactivity, games, robotics, wearables, AI and other digital technologies inform new practices in live performance. Curated by Heidi Boisvert and Kat Mustatea.
