Solange took to Twitter this morning (April 19) to post a beautiful new photo and video of her performance art piece at UCLA’s Hammer Museum, which was unveiled last Friday (April 13). The singer’s installation, titled “Metatronia,” explores the relationship between architecture and movement, and the new video features a handful of dancers — choreographed by Brennan Gerard and Ryan Kelly of Gerard & Kelly — dancing in all black surrounded by beautiful sycamore trees in a lush green field.
The piece is described as “an exercise on following the intuitive force that guides us, helping us to create space, and silence the mind to create the work,” according to an artist’s statement. “Metatronia” is only Solange’s most recent performance art piece. She also put on “Musical Meditations” in Woodbridge, New York and “Seventy States” in London.
The video also features a soundtrack composed by John Kirby and Solange herself. The new photo added features two groups of dancers, one in all red and the other in all black, dancing on the Metatron’s Cube. Solange is also credited as “Metatronia’s” set designer and editor.
Check out the latest additions below, and check out the full performance at Hammer Museum’s website.
