Created and performed by New York-based artist composer and performer Jeremy Toussaint-BaptisteGet Low (Black Square) engages Kazimir Malevich’s 1915 painting Black Square as a starting point to consider notions of visibility and performativity. The work is a continuation of Toussaint-Baptiste’s research of “hyper-audible” object-environments, in which inaudible tones are physically felt within the body using ultra low-frequency subwoofers and darkness.

She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
