Carriage is an ongoing, site-responsive performance that radically explores control and empathy. Emerging from new, evolving conditions of their bodies, Matty Davis and Ben Gould engage physicalized forms of resistance and balance that confound care, provocation and necessity. In November 2016, Gould underwent jaw surgery to treat complications brought on by his Tourette Syndrome. In January 2017, Davis had an accident in which a table saw cut into four of his five fingers, necessitating a partial amputation of one, wires and a bone fusion in two, and a bone graft in another. In Davis and Gould’s different physicalities, and the transformations they have undergone and are responding to, the artists have found a unique opportunity to create work in which empathy can be a physical tool and resistance offers stability.
