Acquainted: To Understand is Not to Know
Drawing from the texts of "For Esme – With Love and Squalor" by J. D. Salinger and "Poor Elephants" by Yukio Tsuchiya, Acquainted is a performance and installation created by Akio Mokuno and Phillip Gulley. The overlap and disconnect of love and war, knowledge and understanding become chaotic, harsh, and melancholic dialogue between spoken text and sound.
The evening included video art made with MAX/MSP, original soundscapes and compositions, and text spoken by performers and audience members to achieve an abstracted and immersive film-like live performance.
'Acquainted: To Understand is not to Know' was performed on May 10, 2011 at Grace Exhibition Space.
