Performance Lab
at Governors Island Art Fair
WILD TORUS is a collaborative platform of Brooklyn-based artists, led by Mike Berlant and Amy Mathis, who work collaboratively to create chaotic, cult performance happenings and site-specific installations. WT aims to create a shared, interactive experience by utilizing a combination of digital and physical means to commemorate morbid notions and events in society--throughout the universe.
WT's ephemeral activities work to expand beyond its participants’ and performers’ consciousness, as well as their metaphysical and corporeal position on Earth. The shared, ritualistic experiences activate a liminal space-time to interpret degenerative events that occur in contemporary reality and are disseminated through media sources. Ultimately, invented identities, objects, symbols, images, and physical movements collectively collapse into dystopian spectacle.
