Cristian Chironi, Cutter + Ali Moini, My Paradoxical Knives
Monday, November 28, 8.30 p.m.
Performance (45 min)
For this performance Italian artist Cristian Chironi takes old picture books and cuts them up, selecting images of natural objects threatened with extinction. He gathers together these images of animals, plants, glaciers, and ocean depths, then recombines them to create baffling new landscapes.

Performance (25 min)
Ali Moini recreates the sacred dances of the Dervishes, adding a sense of danger: a man revolves on one spot, knives circling around him as he chants Sufi poems, begging the heavens not to keep turning without him.
