    STORY SENT | A NEW ITERATIVE PERFORMANCE BY BRIAN FUATA

    **FINAL PERFORMANCE | SATURDAY 27 JULY, 4PM**

    The curtains are open on Brian Fuata's latest email iterative performance work STORY SENT and we are thrilled to invite you to join us for the first IRL performance this Saturday 15 June, 4pm at Cement Fondu.

    Commissioned for our current exhibition TMI, STORY SENT (2024) is a new iteration of the earlier email artwork The Dead Sea Salt and The Quiet Man with his camera in the toilet, first performed in 2012. 

    For this new iteration, audience members who registered to be part of the email chain have received the first in a series of emails. Each one becomes a score for a live structured improvisation that will take place in the gallery space during the TMI exhibition. 

    These live improvisations are open to everyone and will draw upon the evolving script within Fuata's emails. They will be performed at Cement Fondu this Saturday 15 June 4pm, followed by performances on Thursday 4 July, 6pm and Saturday 27 July, 4pm.
