[Live performance by Rachel Krische with #Portal at Newcastle Contemporary Art]
During the installation of #Portal at Newcastle Contemporary Art in 2022 I invited dance artist Rachel Krische to create an intuitive live response to #Portal which would emphasise its themes of space and presence. Krische's performance revealed the staggered installation of the suspended paintings and lighting as a series of distinct spaces or rooms which in turn demanded different movements from the body. Venerating Images emphasised the importance of the idea of transition between spaces in the work and embodied the osmosis between the on- and off-line through its own slippages in which Krische translated forms and imagery from #Portal and other works in its proximity into motion and gesture.
