(Please use headphones) 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, ultimately inducing a slow evaporation of control. In November 2016, Gould underwent jaw surgery to treat complications brought on by his Tourette Syndrome. Prior, he was able to lift only 10 pounds, and November’s surgery has allowed him to slowly begin reclaiming the full strength of his body. 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.  Davis and Gould’s different physicalities, and the transformations they have undergone and are responding to, offer a unique opportunity to create work that draws from charged variance, where empathy can be a physical tool, resistance offers stability, and we are all cast out into a space that levels us, brings us real fear, awakening, new vocabularies and physical structures.
