2025 Another Audience Artist
Jonathan González is an interdisciplinary artist, scholar, and educator whose research investigates the aesthetics, ethics, and social histories embedded in performance. Through choreography, film, installation, and performance studies, his work explores diasporic Black life, postcolonial geographies, and the afterlives of colonialism. Drawing on Black studies, spatial theory, and archival practice, González engages embodiment as a mode of inquiry, creating works that examine how race, power, and memory are choreographed across public and private space. Institutions such as Crystal Bridges Museum of Art/The Momentary, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the River to River Festival have presented his site-responsive and media-rich projects.
During his time at Black Hole Hollow, González will engage in a solo practice of choreographic and sonic exercises named loosely under the speculative tradition of psychogeography. These practices include drifting, swerving, field recordings and embodied mapping. He will be listening, recording, getting lost, encountering a path, sensing environmental shifts, and investigating the entanglements of his presence in collaboration with the land.
Undergirding these experiments are curiosities about how else to talk about issues of agency, identity, species-being, racialization and territoriality? Pinging between how the land a/effects the conditions of his travels, and vice-versa, González will conclude by synthesizing a vocabulary (attentions, gestures, amplitudes, sensations, states) that refer to these inter/intra-special correspondences.
