Wednesday February 1 * 7pm * TICKETS

Chicago-based Beyond This Point is a percussion-focused collaborative ensemble that aims to engage diverse audiences through intersections across artistic mediums, presenting programs that synthesize musical performance with theater, movement, media/film, sculpture, social justice, and environmentalism among others. Using everything from amplified matchsticks, to rice-spilling pendulums, to reclaimed pieces of wood triggering 5000 LEDs, Beyond This Point has a drive to create a truly interdisciplinary performance practice, believing that a mix of media and art forms can speak more directly and powerfully to our current context. For their set at Rhizome, Beyond This Point will bring knives, hammers, an IKEA desk lamp, a webcam, 6 guitar pedals, and exactly one pair of drumsticks. https://www.beyondthispoint.org

Renée Regan is a Dada-inspired performance artist who manages to simultaneously embrace both absurdity and sincerity of purpose. She graduated from the Corcoran College of Art + Design in Washington, DC and spent her college years learning the ins and outs of traditional and digital photography. In the past 13 years she has participated in over 42 art shows in the DMV area. Her artwork is expressed through photography, drawing, performance art, and sculpture. The consistent thread in her work is the appearance of decontextualized objects, images, or even emotions that have been processed and layered to form alternative and sometimes contradicting perspectives. These highly crafted moments focus on compositional elements as well as the theatrical in an effort to ignite our imagination and test the limits of our reality. https://www.instagram.com/realrenatchet/
