The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum is pleased to present Polish by Chiffon Thomas, a performance enacting a series of choreographed movements timed to percussive sound and orchestrated lighting to guide healing, passage, and regeneration. This hour-long work will be performed live at The Aldrich on Saturday, February 3 at 6 pm.
Tickets are available at www.thealdrich.org. The performance is free for Aldrich Members, pre-registration is required.
Polish will take place inside Thomas’ current exhibition at the Museum, The Cavernous, on view through March 17, 2024. The artist will be performing inside his capacious sculpture Untitled (Dome, Figure 1), which he has outfitted with a miniaturized hatch, turning his sculpture into a vessel or portal to an undetermined landscape.
Doors will open at 5 pm and guests are invited to view Chiffon Thomas, Yvette Mayorga, Loie Hollowell, and Amanda Martínez’s exhibitions and enjoy drinks from a cash bar. The exhibition’s curator Amy Smith-Stewart, Chief Curator, will give an introduction to Thomas’ show and the performance will begin at 6 pm. Signed copied of Chiffon Thomas’ exhibition catalogue will be available for purchase.
Chiffon Thomas’ (b. 1991) multifaceted practice incorporates embroidery, collage, drawing, and sculpture to explore the self as split, fractured, and transforming. In his work, Thomas contends with the crafted body, examining wider issues of gender, race, and sexuality. Thomas holds an MFA from Yale University and a BFA from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago.
