Maïder Fortuné, Annie MacDonell
An art professor tells the peculiar story of her student E., a strange young woman whose conceptual performance pieces and singular existence leave the professor increasingly adrift. Combining fictional narrative, personal anecdote and private conversation, Communicating Vessels explores how we influence each other in ways that are sometimes good, sometimes bad, yet always urgent and necessary. An unusual tribute to art and its creation, channelling seminal performances by Joan Jonas and Lygia Clark.

Book of Hours
Annie MacDonell
Incorporating rephotographed etchings and clips from Yvonne Rainer’s Lives of Performers, Annie MacDonell weaves together an elegant play of gestures and patterns, in which quiet moments in a family home become a site of formal and intellectual experimentation.
