Corn-munion, installation by Línda Perla-Giron
Perla-Giron was one of five artists in the Spring ’24 cohort of the Keyhole Workspace Residency at ECOCA. The studio theme was ‘climate’.
Opening Reception Sunday, June 23rd, 3-5pm
Línda Perla-Giron’s installation Corn-munion is a work of three parts.
At 4pm on Sunday, June 23, "Corn-munion” is a 30 min performance that invites audience members to enter a corny corn-struction of your not so typical typical communion. It’s giving drag. It’s giving Our Father Who Art Corn. It’s giving theater of a mythical self. It’s giving memories that all seem to slip into themselves and become a new history to be passed down instead of digging up what seemed to never be yours to begin with. It's giving a moment to settle into corn-munity care and breathe together — only happens on Sundays.
A booklet — handmade with paper made of grass, wood block print, and typewriter ink.
An installation archiving the making of “corn-munion” includes journal entries, recipes, drawings, documentation of pre-performance prep and performance stills.
