Carriage
Ben Gould
(Author)Description
Created in collaboration with designers Ayham Ghraowi and Matt Wolff, this publication includes writing, photographs, and drawings to evoke the urgent physical and interpersonal landscape of CARRIAGE. The artists bear witness to themselves and to each other as they undergo a wide range of physical and emotional dynamics that navigate trust, need, difficulty, and joy. The temporal and spatial experience of CARRIAGE is resituated on the page, as are Davis and Gould's voices, which build off of each other, overlap, and merge as first person singular and plural meet. Their voices are joined by reflections from audience members who attended CARRIAGE in its various locations--aboard a moving vessel on the Chicago River, in a limestone cave network in Kansas City--which offer insight into the viewers' own bodies and unique physical and psychological spaces. As these voices combine and accumulate, a broader portrait emerges, not only of a performance, but of the intricacies of human vulnerability, challenge, and care.
CARRIAGE is the third title in the Wendy's Subway Document Series, an interdisciplinary publishing initiative that highlights work by time-based artists in printed form. It is co-published with the Miller ICA at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, on the occasion of the exhibition This Skin of Ours, curated by Liz Park (October 12?November 17, 2019).
