For this installment of “Beyond the Page,” I interviewed the eloquent, thoughtful, and visionary Regina Martinez, Threewalls’ Artist and Artistic Engagement Manager, about the In-Session program—a critical interdisciplinary salon that incorporates reading, conversation, and performance together, now entering its third season. We spoke about the ideas and values behind In-Session, the theme she chose for its current season, sensitivities of working between artists and institutions, and Martinez’s own path to and through this work.
Read the interview on the Sixty Inches from Center website.
Featured image: Regina Martinez (center) at Threewalls in March 2019, participating in an In-Session by Maya Mackrandilal, with collaborators Udita Upadhyaya and Enid Muñoz and original performance for video by Bhanu Kapil, in response to the guiding work “Schizophrene” by Bhanu Kapil. In this wide shot, Martinez and more than a dozen audience members stand in the middle of the wood floor at Threewalls, as Mackrandilal and Muñoz stretch fluorescent pink ribbon around and between them all. The room is low-lit, with some additional fragments of light reflecting onto the audience members from a video projection off-camera. Martinez wears black and white and a long black sweater. Most audience members wear sweaters, scarves, boots, and/or hats. Photo by Milo Bosh. Courtesy of Threewalls.
