Japanther: The Cake of The 3 Towers Friday + Saturday, December 2 + 3, 8 PM
Tickets The three towers are prison, museum, and (housing) project, albeit loosely. Music, video, and performance draw parallel lines between three industrial archetypes. Moving through these structures, the artists utilize fragments of their environment to envision a utopian creative endgame. Meanwhile, an Austrian super villain (Florian Reither) attempts to unite and destroy the dystopian worlds. The Cake of The 3 Towers (TCo3T) is a collaborative project featuring Japanther, Schuyler Maehl, Florian Reither, and Felice Faison commissioned for Quote Unquote: Experiments in Time-Based Text, an interdisciplinary series presenting work by artists that use an existing text as a departure point for installation, film, and performance. Video from Japanther's residency SOON
