D O T M A T R I X places its two performers on a round bed surrounded by thousands of rubber bouncy balls. They execute a series of actions, sharing intimate space in a discombobulated world. You are invited to come and go as you please to witness this live display of moving bodies in a static space.
Performance scheduled for January 5 - 7th 4pm - 8pm
madhause is the shared company of Taka Yamamoto (Portland/Los Angeles) and Ben Evans (Paris). Never having lived in the same city, their work takes as its departure the distance between them. They work through extended space and in compressed time, separately and together. Most recently, madhause projects have included individual works introducing the mediums of sculpture, photography, installation and video to their established performance practices.
Yamamoto and Evans met in New York in 2006 and a few months later, established madhause as a platform to begin working together. Since then, they have performed and studied with Anne Bogart and the SITI Company, Goat Island, Mary Overlie, Jmy James Kidd and Deborah Hay among others - their separate experiences are shared and made visible in their collaborations together.
madhause company projects (365 Days/365 Plays, usual day for cats, myselves) have been seen in Boulder (The Dairy Center for the Arts, Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, Boulder Public Library), Los Angeles (Found Gallery, Rowan Gallery) and individual projects have been seen in various cities throughout Europe and America.
