Join us and artist Moi Tran for the thirteenth Studio Social event where artists share on recent work.
In this one hour conversation, Moi Tran will discuss her participatory project S L E E P.
Taking place over one evening, often in a public space, S L E E P invites people to experience ‘collective sleep’ and consider the intimate, everyday act from a range of personal and political perspectives.
Free, all welcome, booking required.
Moi Tran employs research, theatre, text, sound, installation, video, and performance to examine theorisations on the politics of emotional reckoning and states of feeling, encounters of witnessing in events of fugitive performativity and the politics of sound as critical record. Her interests in alternative modes of communication have produced experiments for imagining and performing counternarratives inside and outside archives of information. She collaborates with sound makers, dancers, actors and community-performers to reimagine conventional performance making. Tran is currently commissioned by the Wellcome Collection, Performing Borders/Performance Possession Automaton. She has presented and performed her work nationally and internationally. She has contributed to ‘By the Means at Hand’ a project by Vlatka Horvat for the Croatian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale – the 60th International Exhibition of Visual Art 2024 – by invitation.
