Shani, Tai, 2022, Show, Exhibition or Event, "MY BODILY REMAINS, YOUR BODILY REMAINS, AND ALL THE BODILY REMAINS THAT EVER WERE, AND EVER WILL BE (DOWN, SKIN, PELT, VELLUM, ALERT TANGLED ROOTS, SUBCUTANEOUS FLESH, SUBTERRANEAN BLIND LIFE)" (Unpublished)

Abstract or Description:

We hosted the live performance artwork commission in October as Museum of London's, and the world's first nightclub in residence in a museum. Last month we hosted our first event in partnership with the Museum of London. Turner Prize Winning Artist Tai Shani performed 'My Bodily Remains', a stunning new live performance artwork commissioned by Art Night. The show itself was described as a "dark chamber play exploring eroticism, mysticism, and intersectional queer feminism", with "revolution" depicted as its as overall theme. Entitled My bodily remains, your bodily remains, and all the bodily remains that ever were, and ever will be. (Down, skin, pelt, vellum, alert tangled roots, subcutaneous flesh, subterranean blind life), it draws inspiration from Smithfield’s history as one of London’s earliest execution sites.
