Friction Function

Response to Eleven and a Half Hours Exhibition

Marina Fukushima, born in Tokyo, Japan, is a dancer and choreographer based in San Francisco. From a cross-cultural perspective, her current creative focus is on the themes of silence, family, and intergenerational relationships.

FRICTION / FUNCTION is a multidisciplinary collaboration - between ASG and dance artist and curator Jesse Hewit - that is experimenting with making art works into subject/object for the creation of other artworks; in this case, across discipline from visual/new media to performance. In creating and curating this program, we are interested in the perpetuation and re-experiencing of art works without pushing them into a buying/selling economy, but instead by making them material for more art.
