Yeah Maybe Studio

Please join us for this free artist-led workshop, open to all those with interest in examining the connections between voice, movement, and space. Together, we will explore a sequence of vocal exercises gathered from various fields, including dramaturgical warm-up exercises, therapeutic traditions, guided meditation and sound paired with improvised movement, all of which are strategies that Barry regularly employs when devising new work. No formal singing training or other experience is necessary.About the Artist:FD13 residency for the arts is pleased to welcome artist Archie Barry (B. 1990, based Melbourne, Australia) to Minneapolis and St Paul throughout the month of March. Barry’s performance, music, and video works de-structure language by finding opportunities for words to be reinterpreted as somatic experience. Their interest in the human voice as a medium of belonging and becoming stems from formative experiences of singing in choirs, chanting prayers, and, as a teenager, performing in punk and pop bands. A logic underscoring their work is the stance that personhood is an unstable and complex sociological phenomenon, often reduced by language. This position is informed by their lived experiences as a transgender person and a second generation child of a small spiritual community. Archie Barry was born in 1990 in Sydney and is an interdisciplinary artist currently working in Melbourne, Australia. Their work has been included in exhibitions and performance programs at The National Gallery of Victoria (Sydney, AUS), The Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (Melbourne, AUS), The Museum of Contemporary Art(Sydney, AUS), Contemporary Art Tasmania, Sydney Contemporary Art Fair, Artspace Sydney, The State Library of Victoria and Buxton Contemporary (Melbourne, AUS). Barry completed a Masters of Contemporary Art at Victorian College of the Arts in 2017 where they are currently employed as a sessional lecturer.
