The Performance Arcade

A/PART 2024
ARTIST
Roxie Black
A/Part is the second instalment of a work that reconstructs natural phenomena in occupied spaces. It is a sculpture of suspended windows, water, and light; a place to slow down, observe, and play.
Installed at the performance arcade, a festival encouraging public engagement with performance art. This work is the extension of my long study of puppetry, this living sculpture is operated by the public who share its occupied space. Unlike conventional puppetry, this puppet is not restricted by the need to mimic human or animal form, but is free to express its own qualities.
