Location:  UCCA Auditorium

UCCA is pleased to present “Lucy + Jorge Orta: Battleships” by artists Lucy Orta and Jorge Orta. Lucy + Jorge Orta explore the major concerns that define the 21st century: biodiversity, environmental conditions, climate change, and exchange among peoples. Their collaborative practice draws upon issues of ecological and social sustainability, employing a range of media that includes drawing, sculpture, installation, couture, painting, silkscreen, photography, video, and light. This piece is both a performance and collective game, inviting participants to play out a round of live Battleship. After the performance, the artists will give a talk on collective art as a catalyst for action.
