Nicola Canavan will perform the premiere of her durational live work, I Miss You, at Act Art 8 – Censored in London this Friday, 9 July.
I Miss You is part of a series of performance works, also titled I Miss You, and is presented as an intimate repeated short performance for one person at a time. Nicola Canavan has been creating durational performance works for the last five years that present femininity through striking live visual experiences. Her performances have been seen across England, and in Ireland and Belgium, and her video and still image work has been shown throughout Europe and in the United States.
This year's Act Art event features work by 100 artists and addresses censorship both as a form of social control and as an accolade that can inadvertently widen awareness of artistic works. Act Art is an underground event that merges art, fashion, pop and club culture, and programmes experimental, radical, challenging, non-mainstream work that’s sometimes difficult to watch, or be confronted with, by emerging and established artists working in all media.
Devised by Nicola Canavan, co-produced by Nicola Canavan and amino, presented by Act Art.
