4Waves: 40 Performances for the Hole

SOMArts and Justin Hoover/Collective Action Studio (CAS) are proud to co-present a new iteration of 100 Performance for the Hole: a marathon of artistic moments. In honor of the 40th anniversary of SOMArts Cultural Center, CAS is producing an abbreviated version titled 4Waves: 40 Performances for the Hole on Wednesday, September 11th, 5:58–10:00pm with Rhodessa Jones as a special program presenter and Justin Hoover as the evening’s emcee.

The Bay has experienced three “waves” of performance art since the 1960’s and now we are in the midst of a fourth. A fast and furious space for experimentation, 4Waves takes place in, about, around, against and in relation to a 100-year-old pit in the floor of SOMArts Cultural Center.

Featured artists include pioneering performer Keith Hennessey, Jennifer Locke who explores the constructions of power, hierarchy, and epistemology, and artist, curator, and producer Marcus Kuiland-Nazario, a 30-year veteran of Los Angeles arts and performance scene.

Each artist has only one minute to set up, two-minutes to perform and one-minute to clean up. There are no rehearsals. Tickets for 4Waves: 40 Performances for the Hole are available online.
