Guillermo E. Brown (2016 Creative Capital Awardee) presents a triptych of performative strategies, playing with and about time inside a maximalist, roulette-like approach. With The Instrument—a boundary-pushing performance system fusing drumming, singing, electronics, and custom sensors—a 30-inch, gong-like projection surface becomes both drum and screen, encoding touch into sound and image to shape stories in the ether. Romance, inspired by Claude McKay’s novel Romance in Marseilles, distorts storytelling through the manipulation of time, place, and space. In Bee Boy, Brown charts metamorphosis and community, letting change ring out as a percussion-driven rhythm of resistance.
