"Weeping Wall," a free outdoor public art event, features
the powerful visual work of Nancy Adams and Slavco Sokolovski. Using
video, slides, mirrors, skin, and black ink, Adams and Sokolovski
bring together themes that address the physical relationship of Fort
Point artists to the fabric of the buildings in which they work.
These relationships include the scale of the human body in contrast
to monumental buildings, the social interaction of the individual to
the institution represented by these buildings, and the notion of
"skin" for both human bodies and buildings. The audience will gather
at sunset outside Mobius and will then proceed around the Fort Point
neighborhood to view the work.
(Bios.) Nancy Adams brings to her work experience as a choreographer,
visual artist, and performer. A member of the Mobius Artists Group
since 1988, her work has been featured at art spaces and festivals
such as the Cleveland Performance Festival and Lincoln Center Out of
Doors. She has also created site-specific performance pieces in
Macedonia and Croatia. Her work - centered on the physical, nonverbal
interpretation of visual environments - is sometimes described as
"prop-driven performance."
Slavco Sokolovski, a native of Macedonia, is a painter, object maker,
and art conservator. His work has been shown in Skopje, Belgrade,
Ljublijana, Sarajevo, and Zagreb, as well as in Rome, Nuremberg,
Dresden, Berlin, London and Washington, DC. Sokolovski has received
numerous awards for excellence in painting and his work is part of
both public and private collections in Europe and the U.S. Within the
past year, he has performed in Nancy Adams' work, Life Savings, and
has held a solo exhibition of recent work at Mobius.
