Jason and Alicia Hall Moran: AiR. Performance at Art Public, ABMB 2012

This video documents a part of the performance that Jason Moran and Alicia Hall Moran in collaboration with Brandon Ross presented at the opening night of Art Basel Miami Beach’s Art Public program. The performance is titled AiR and contains both jazz and operatic elements. It interacts with Mexican artist José Davila’s public art installation Untitled (The Space Beneath Us), an architectural intervention made of ceramic tiles that was installed in front of the Bass Museum of Art and that translates the Homage to the Square series of paintings by the German-born American artist Joseph Albers into sculpture. The video above is an excerpt. The full-length video is available after the break.
