The art of visiting
instrumentation | string orchestra + percussion
date | 2020
duration | 10'+
premiere | May 6th, 2020 by Face the Music & JACK Quartet, conducted by David Bloom
note | inti figgis-vizueta’s “The art of visiting” refers to the experience of Otherhood and the complexities of weaving in and out of traditional institutions and spaces. The art draws on the writings of Édouard Glissant, navigating the frictions of artistic creation in environments that seek to both celebrate and ultimately assimilate historically Othered artists. The art is the ability to maintain an opaque presence, one that engages freely but never loses the essence of their relational past – a past defined by exclusion and violent cultural imperialism. The art is not losing the connections to the whole, the worlds outside of these hermetic traditions.
