Beyond Performance

Three Solo Exhibitions Exploring the Expanded Practices of Performance Artists

Opening Sept 13th, 6 - 9pm

CONNECTOME by Hush Fell

Hush Fell, a collaborative project by Marilyn Loddi (performer and sculptor) and Bill Bilowit (filmmaker), as part of Beyond Performance. This solo exhibition expands the language of performance into sculpture, film, photography, and installation. Hush Fell explores the body’s cycles, boundaries, and connections to society. Their work integrates organic materials, live action, and gift economy practices, inviting audiences into a sensory dialogue on resilience, mortality, and the shared human journey.

“ The artist duo Hush Fell presents a meta-sci happening of somatic scanning, neural mapping, and peeling back the symbiotic layers we call “ourselves,” one volunteer at a time. Discover our endless interior worlds, ruled by billions of nanoscale individuals that orchestrate the constant dialogue between mind and body—the true agents of our deepest decisions, irresistible passions,sudden clarities, and ultimate destinies.

Embodied Resistance by Tere Senyase García

Edge Zones Gallery presents Embodied Resistance, a solo exhibition by Tere Senyase García, as part of Beyond Performance.

Embodied Resistance is an exhibition by Tere Senyase Garcia that investigates the body as a contested and politicized terrain that speaks of resistance and borders. Through a performance-based video, dissolving sculptures, and photographic works, the artist activates the body as a site of both vulnerability and agency. The exhibition explores ephemerality, temporality, and resistance, positioning the body as inherently political—one that resists systems of control, displacement, and erasure. Using her own body as both medium and message, shaped by history and migration, García presents performance not only as an artistic strategy but also as a survival mechanism and form of protest. Her work asks: What does it mean to inhabit a body marked by migration, gender, labor, or memory? How can the body speak when language fails?

Edge Zones Gallery is pleased to announce Beyond Performance, a series of three solo exhibitions presenting new and recent work by Marianna Angel (Primer), Tere Senyase García (Embodied Resistance), and Hush Fell (Marilyn Loddi and Bill Bilowit, CONNECTOME). Each of these artists, rooted in the tradition of performance art, has expanded their practice into other mediums including installation, video, sculpture, and photography.

Curated by Gabriela Keddell, Beyond Performance considers how performance artists push past the immediacy of live action to create lasting forms that continue to question the body, memory, and presence within space.

Beyond Performance

In Beyond Performance, we present three distinct solo exhibitions that reframe the expectations placed on artists traditionally known for performance. This curatorial project challenges the notion that performance art exists in isolation—ephemeral, bodily, and moment-bound—by highlighting how its sensibilities ripple outward into material forms. The artists in this exhibition are all rooted in the language of performance, yet their practices have never been confined to it. Their work extends across photography, sculpture, video, and installation, evidencing how performance is not only a medium but a generative force—one that informs gesture, rhythm, presence, and resistance across disciplines.

This show seeks to break the categorical binds of “performance artist” by emphasizing the multiplicity of practices these artists embody. What emerges is not a departure from performance but a deepening of it—performance as a conceptual framework, a lived methodology, a permeable membrane between body and object, time and space. The exhibition positions each artist not as tethered to a medium, but as an evolving force beyond performance—a reframing of identity through material, ritual, and memory. Beyond Performance is a call to view these practices not as fragmented, but as expansive, interconnected fields of making.

Primer, a new performance and installation by Marianna Angel

Primer sets a stage of self-consuming acts of expression– where continuous streams-of- consciousness are shredded, creating an intimate loop between creating and destroying. Fractured memories and emotional confessions come here to rest with no record left behind. This process in Primer mirrors the instability of memory, the fragmentation of thought, and the disorientation of dissociation. It speaks to the tension between the need to communicate and the failure of language to fully capture internal experience. What remains are partial transmissions, broken narratives, and ghosts of moments already gone.
