THE SIX FOOT PLATFORM: NON-DUALITY 2: KEVIN KELLY THE SIX FOOT PLATFORM

AN EXPERIMENTAL ART + PERFORMANCE PROGRAM PRESENTING BROOKLYN-BASED ARTISTS ON A 6X6 PLATFORM ON WASHINGTON STREET (@WATER ST.) –BROOKLYN'S MOST PHOTOGRAPHED BLOCK. SUMMER SATURDAYS | 1 -8PM --------------------------------------------------------- AUGUST 13 NON-DUALITY 2 BY KEVIN KELLY --------------------------------------------------------- Two performers interact and recline on geometric planes. A black and white checkerboard pattern covers all surfaces, including the performers in matching suits. This project is a reference to the ancient intuition that all matter, all "reality" is energy and is all part of an inseparable whole. A field of energy flows through us and all matter. The black and white pattern represents the positive and negative of the protons and electrons of this energy field, and the interflow of this energy field from object to object and foreground to background. --------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Kelly was born in upstate New York and graduated from Pratt Institute in 1982. He has been living and working in Brooklyn since 2006. He has shown his work across the United States, including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Santa Fe and Westport.
