![A new work by artist Niall Jones ! JohnsonJaxxxonJefferson, a new performance work by Niall Jones, is a site breach, a collapsing of memories, sensations, and bodily coordinates — a dance and its noises, moving from one place to another operating, in parts, as a system of continuous retrieval. LET ME HELP YOU SHOW ME ANOTHER WAY TO BE A disarrangement of hallucinatory maternal presences indeterminacy &dissonant structures crashed.symbols (failed)(flailed) images chatter repetition but what about the choir sound [ing] was mainly our dreaming knowingly and unknowingly caressing loss as a conceit while specters haunt the church’s architecture. The Church Sexton: • Sits, stands, bends, reaches and moves intermittently during work. • Is subject to frequent interruptions. • Works beyond normal hours for planned functions of the church and emergencies. • Communicates with supervisor and other church staff, volunteers, members and guests. • Is exposed to slippery conditions, odors, outside weather conditions, etc. • Keeps whistling. Improvisation is key****](http://danspaceproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screen-Shot-2024-09-09-at-2.41.26-PM.jpg)
Jones engaged in research for this new work as a 2023-24 Danspace Project Research Artist-in-Residence.
