Hex, short for hexagon: a shape defined by six sides. Hex: to put a spell on someone; or in this case, to induce a kind of shape-shifting in order to transmit a dance from one body into another.
Six dance artists Vanessa Anspaugh, Aretha Aoki, Anna Azrieli, Eleanor Smith, Bessie McDonough-Thayer and Mariana Valencia joined with interdisciplinary artists robbinschilds (Layla Childs and Sonya Robbins) in a communal generative process whereby each participant crafted her own dance, which was subsequently studied and responded to by the group.
Hex probes the complexities surrounding authorship, specifically how each collaborator influences the outcome of a day’s work, the building of material, and ultimately the finished composition. By exposing the cooperative agency in the construction of artistic vocabulary, Hex expands the notion of creator.
