∆ Melon Sprout
Melon Sprout uses ceramic instruments to extend their body physically and sonically. Material and body become a tangible space for the ephemeral. “Ceramusic” – a word for Melon’s ceramic music – encourages viewers to activate, interact with, and extend themselves physically and sonically in the form of ceramic music-making. Their ceramic instruments retain physical traces of the ceramic’s original soft clay state, and the instruments go through many transitions as functional and aesthetic art objects. Sprout’s ceramic instruments are performed, climbed, spun, recorded, edited, and altered. The ceramic instruments become a conduit of reciprocity, and offer non-linguistic communication in order to develop an animated environment where feelings and ideas are free to exchange.
∆ Grace DeVies
Grace DeVies (He/Him) (b.1999) is a queer trans*sexual performance artist and curator based in Chicago working to demonstrate queer trans* intimacy. Driven to dismantle and transcend oppressive binaries, he threatens these institutions through practicing gender fuckery and displaying, confusing, or eliminating power dynamics. DeVies finds inspiration in the hol(e)y, in continuity, and in practices of kink and risk-aware informed consent, creating art to serve as an act of love, a religious experience, and an ephemeral happening. DeVies has performed live at MANA Contemporary, Oh!klahomo, TriTriangle, and Dispatch Gallery, and has curated live performance events at NoNation Art Lab and Comfort Station.
