Stephen Bram

Third floor West gallery 500 Sampsonia Way

2016

This play is a reflection on the (im)possibility of accepting diversity and the other. The fragmented body of the neoplasm—the fruit of unstable conditions—overcomes barriers, loves and denies itself and others, wanders around, forgetting its profession. It frequently and with pleasure divides, goes through dangerous palpation, questions the possibility of contact with the experience of the other. Poorly brought up but very successful, it invites us to a trans-species transition.

Stephen Bram works with materials and objects in relation to points in space. Perspective, usually used to render space on a flat surface, produces -- in this work a 10' 8" x 14' 5" x 39' 8" installation -- a habitable space.
