Curated by Edna Sandoval
February 14 – March 15, 2014
Opening Reception: Friday, February 14, 8–10
Steve Turner Contemporary is pleased to present Plegaria Muda (Silent Prayer), a performance and solo exhibition by Carlos Martiel. The performance will take place in the upstairs gallery on Friday, February 14 between 8 and 10 pm. Martiel will position himself in the middle of the room where thin strands of nylon will be sewn into his body that will tautly extend to the walls of the gallery where they will be attached. Bells emitting varying sounds will be attached to the nylon. While Martiel will strive to remain motionless, his inevitable involuntary movements will trigger the chimes. When the gallery re-opens on Tuesday, February 18, it will feature a photograph and a two channel video of the performance along with the nylon strands that previously held Martiel in place.
