Jerwood/FVU awards artist Soojin Chang has devised a durational performance to coincide with the summer solstice.

Forma

To coincide with summer solstice, the longest day of the year, Soojin Chang has devised a durational performance in collaboration with artist, DJ, sage and Daoist practitioner Georgie (Rei-n) Lo which responds to themes of land relations, object/subject relations, psychogeography, animist methodology, ritual as technology, and the human-animal in BXBY, their commission for the <a href="https://jerwoodarts.org/exhibitionsandevents/exhibitions/jerwood-fvu-awards-2022/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jerwood/FVU Awards 2022</a>. The ritual is a performance of belonging that speaks through technosomatic language to ask land gods for partnership in land redistribution. The artists greet the building of Forma as a being. They perform a continuous rebalancing exchange of power forces to acknowledge, dissolve, and release the oppression of objecthood through trans-animist methodology.This event is supported by <a href="https://jerwoodarts.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jerwood Arts</a>, <a href="https://www.fvu.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Film and Video Umbrella</a> for the <a href="https://www.jerwoodfvuawards.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jerwood/FVU Awards 2022</a> and is being delivered in collaboration with <a href="https://forma.org.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Forma</a>.
