On the evening of June 5th ACUD Galerie presents Venus in Three Movements: Part 1, developed in collaboration with TABLOID Press and to be aired later via Refuge Worldwide, the programme features Amelia Ada, Bishop Black and Jordan Deal. Drinks will be available throughout the evening at our courtyard bar.

Working with and against the archive - where absence, fragmentation, and silence are evidence - Venus in Three Movements expands across three axes: Echo, Gossip and Alienation. The public programme moves through word, body, and voice - TABLOID Press holding the poetic layer, Refuge Worldwide extending the recordings into archive, and a shifting body of performers carrying the live work between them.

Part 1 opens with Echo: agency returned to what was buried, heard as feminist and decolonial material - sonic, temporal, embodied.

TABLOID Press invites two Berlin-based artists to accompany Jordan Deal in the first iteration: poet Amelia Ada and performance artist Bishop Black, each of whose work traces echoes of embodiment, whether in syntax or score.

Jordan Deal‘s Capeforce arrives for the first time in Berlin as a shapeshifting opera tuned to Julius Eastman’s sonic provocations. Rupture and collision are its choreographic devices; black oil a figure-devouring, anomalous, slickness. A score for hauntological contradictions, continuing collective resonance.
Act I takes place in the ACUD courtyard; Act II unfolds at a location disclosed on the day.
