PERFORMANCES GROUNDINGS BY JUSTIN RANDOLPH THOMPSON FOR "GROUND BREAK"
On the occasion of "Ground Break," Nari Ward invited artist Justin Randolph Thompson to develop a series of performances interacting with the floor piece Ground Break (2024). Over the course of the exhibition, the work is activated through sound, the reading of texts and movement, with instruments inspired by and in dialogue with the materials of Ward's sculptures and installations on display. For the performance cycle, titled Groundings, Thompson has brought together artists and activists to engage in grounding rituals, broken down into three different performances and a soundscape.
