Less Lonely: viz/lingo laboratory, a collaborative exhibit/performance by Denver-based artist David D’Agostino, presents uncanny experiments in human-frog relations. Based on the Fish and Wildlife Field Guide to Frog and Toad Malformations, the inter-media event highlights our fascination with little amphibians that inhabits our feel-good psyche to seek ‘oneness’ with an abiding, albeit now malformed, natural world. Mixing performance, text, photos, painting, dissection tools, burnt drawing, q-tips, concrete sculpture, balloons and music, the show explores the liminal space that exists between the creation of one idealized object or idea and its subsequent corrupted re-imagining.
The work is presented as a visual/language laboratory allowing the audience to participate in live dissections, write balloon poetry, and leave samples of personal DNA to be buried with Coqui frog fragments in
Utuado, Puerto Rico.
