Tori Wrånes, one of Norway’s leading artists, has created a visual concert with an ensemble of musicians. Wrånes works primarily with the voice and sculptural installation, combining the two in her dynamic live performances. From a forty person strong multi-levelled musical performance in an LA parking space that included weightlifters, cyclists and accordion players (Art in the Parking Space, LAX Art, 2012) to staging a surreal concert in the trees with Wrånes hanging from her hair, her site- specific performances challenge audience and singer alike. For Performa 13 Wrånes will produce a new composition and site-specific musical work for New York City which will include a number of set pieces that challenge her physical ability to sing or to produce sound, involving techniques such as binding, suspension or prosthesis.
