The exhibit opens with a reception and performances on Fri., Sept. 12, 6-9pm. %u201cLiving Rituals%u201d is being presented in conjunction with BACA Downtown%u2019s fall/winter theater series,%u201cThe Fringe,%u201d which includes premieres of original works and collaborations by leading contemporary writers, performers and directors.Angelika Festa%u2019s sculptural installation in the new show, %u201cFish Bones,%u201d explores three orders of experience that the artist describes as %u201cmythological transformation, social interaction, and absurd order.%u201d Festa shows these metaphorically and symbolically in her installation, which consists of stereotypes of common sites for human interaction, such as restaurants and bars. Her installation also is the site for a seven hour performance of sustained intensity, which begins at 3:30pm on Friday. Within a stagelike proscenium of projected light, Festa will assume an animalistic alter-ego, %u201cthe rabbit,%u201d marking the point where primitive desires and articulated social needs intersect.The second installation is %u201cRed Zone,%u201d by Chicago artist Jay Sims. It is an environmental tableaux that co-exists with Festa%u2019s installation in the main gallery.%u201cRed Zone%u201d provides a sculptural equivalent for a persona that Sims Red Zone is one of the three performs Sims.
