Mandy El-Sayegh: Frieze Live 2020

Many El-Sayegh, "your words will be used against you" Mandy El-Sayegh introduces a new site-specific floor installation that acts like a second skin of language and light, and offers a contact space for performances to occupy: it also blurs the lines between other live performances, as well as her new live work with guest collaborator Sanaa Abstrakt and a soundtrack composed by Lily Oakes, taking place on 9 October and broadcast online on 10 October. Performers: Aretha Ameen, Alethia Antonia, Letizia Mateo, Melissa Stewart and Uma Vanderpuye. Presented by Lehmann Maupin LIVE 2020 was curated by Victor Wang (王宗孚) (Artistic Director and Chief Curator of M WOODS Museum, Beijing). For the first time ever, LIVE took place at 9 Cork Street in London, where Wang and a group of artists, established a temporary Institute of Melodic Healing during Frieze Week in London. This institute of sound and performance lasted for 111 hours, aiming to promote community and healing by thinking through sound and body.
