Maya Stovall, Theorem, No. 3
Date: Friday, June 30, 2023
Time: 6-7PM
Location: The Grandel, 3610 Grandel Square, St. Louis, MO
Details:
Theorem, no. 3 contemplates and assumes control of institutional and repressive state apparatuses through its logic, as apparatus. In the performance, the artist employs a careful approach that prioritizes the trust and anonymity of participants in no-strings transmissions of the official currency of the United States of America. The linguistic actions of Theorem, no. 3 include an unauthorized Presidential Letter of Apology, where Stovall, through artistic license, assumes an unauthorized position of President of the United States of America and writes an unauthorized public apology and legal resolution for the crimes against humanity committed by the U.S. Government and its designees between 1526 and 1968.
