research phase II

Believing in the stories that come from inside the body, and the whole body as a landscape of feeling in a recurring and wider philosophical exploration, glo presents a research and processed-through living installation with choreographer lauri stallings () and glo moving artist Ashley Ianna Daye. The piece explores dissolving boundaries between interbeing and other biology, with movement language stallings’ calls “total feeling,” rooted in choreographic practice pushing at the edges of physical presence, thinking through and investigating the human body, with the body.

This durational activation invites artists and the public to experience stallings’ visceral layering, mapping, and movement composition in real time. This new overarching body of work investigates the interplay between spiritual transcendence (angels), social positions, and live art.

Introducing Gabi Madrid (.madrid.art), Texas Guinevere Norman (), and Constance Thalken (), 3 of the 33 artists featured in This is Now: a group show of art and resistance, opening May 29th at Goat Farm.

▪️Gabi Madrid (slides 1 + 3) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work reflects upon the human experience, focusing on themes of self-development, identity formation, and the unconscious. Madrid received their BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2019 and they are an MFA candidate at Georgia State University. Moving between installation and sculpture, Madrid invites the viewers to delve into the connections that bind us as individuals and as a society. Their sculpture “Two-Faced Serpent” is inspired by visions that emerge from the dream space. The creatures are forms to contemplate our own imaginations and projections. Madrid’s work also serves as a metaphor for one’s lived experience and encounters with the mystical, mythological, and monstrous.

▪️Texas Guinevere Norman (slides 2 + 5) is a q***r artist who strives to represent the challenges of being a q***r artist in their work. They show parts of themself and how they feel through the creatures they create. “Gaze” represents a change of body. It exists in-between. Not quite human, not quite animal, this new creature is neither and both.

▪️Constance Thalken (slides 3 + 6) is primarily a photographer who uses sound and video to explore her interest in the human experience within the natural world. She exhibits both nationally and internationally with photographs in the permanent collections of the High Museum of Art, The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Birmingham Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, Yale University Library, and the Zuckerman Museum of Art. Thalken received her MFA from Yale University and is represented by Whitespace Gallery in Atlanta. In 2026 her monograph Heart of a Bird will be published by Stanley/Barker, London. Her piece “Exit Wounds #2” is in the show.
