A reading and a butoh performance at the New Media Gallery. GYRE: The Ocean Container is the title of a novel written by Patrik Sampler in 2017. Readings from his book and a butoh performance created by Carolyn Chan + Clancy Dennehy for the launch of Sampler’s novel are being tapped in this exhibition response. Rich interconnections were readily apparent between the works in the exhibition, the novel, and the butoh; a surreal and hypnotic interplay of themes, imagery and sound. This performance then is a response within a response within a response…reflecting the Gyre itself.

GYRE, the exhibition, will be open during the performance.
