MPA'S NOTHING TO YOU INSTALLATION OPENS SEPTEMBER 12
I do not believe that this performance will put people into a transcendental state. We would need much more time together to accomplish this.  So, what to do in the meantime? - MPA
Nothing To You is a temporary site-specific installation that will act as a frame for an encounter. MPA will direct an action that tours the perimeters of thoughtful collision between bodies, objects and sound within the space.  Here, speakers mature into characters, and bodies regress into objects, calling into question the notion of pre-tense, the state of being before action, during approximately 45 minutes of provocative and attentive collapse.
Nothing To You is both installation and performance. MPA's Performance is on Saturday, September 12th at 6:30 pm at Disjecta. Hosted by Disjecta Contemporary Art Center and curated by Chiara Giovando for the CIR 2015-16 program.
