Maus Hábitos Variations

For the final performance of Maus Hábitos Variations, Claire Nichols collaborated with musician, Angelo Moustapha, to explore the possibilities of improvisation between the disciplines of sculpture and music. During this closing performance in the gallery, Nichols and Moustapha de-stabilised and reinvented the composition of the exhibition through improvisations with light, sound and movement. The performance involved experiments in ‘close listening’ to the textures and internal resonances of Nichols’ found objects, and explorations into how these objects can become instruments.
