Multi-disciplinary work in development for next month!

Friends,

I’m excited to share that I have a new performance developing in conjunction with my installation Spinning Lines 2022. Ruts of Repetition, a durational dance performance, will engage my string installation emphasizing how we get stuck in repetitive patterns in life. I will be performing alongside, Bryon Carr and Amy Funbuttons! We will be stopping by at various times throughout the exhibition, including a couple of planned performances you won’t want to miss!

Here’s a sneak peak of the performance development:

Excerpt from #wip durational performance Ruts of Repetition by Megan Prince, Bryon Carr and Amy Funbuttons for Spinning Lines 2022 featured in Howl at Forest For The Trees this July 21-24.

This multi-disciplinary work will be featured in the l exhibition Howl, curated by Lele Barnett and Amanda Manitach, at Forest for the Trees, a satellite to the Seattle Art Fair with a 4 day block party. FREE! If you are interested in sponsoring or volunteering, 🙏 pls send me a message.

Howl is a survey of female-identifying and non-binary artists who work in large-scale material and voice. From hanging gardens to tensile textile walls, ephemeral text tracings to punk-poetic shout-outs, the exhibit encompasses a range of material expressions as elegant as they are aggressive, spanning the softly ecstatic to blunt-force unapologetic. 

Exhibited works include installations from both regional and national artists, and features reproductions of vital and viral images produced by the organization Shout Your Abortion. Across the works in this exhibit is a through-line where technical precision meets poetic expression, an offering of violent beauty that calls for response. 

The bittersweet march towards collective healing, progress, health, and survival lands on the ever-bending backs of these beasts of perpetual burden and power. May women rule the world.

Howl will run, July 21-24 from 12noon-9pm each day. Performance dates and times to come.
