In Shiny Angles In Angular Time, Archibald and Ring redefine the black box theater as a kind of magic box – a site containing properties both real and imagined. In this collaborative work, Archibald’s performance points to the space itself — its presence and identity — rather than the other way around, amplifying its power and making visible the force of its emptiness.

Shiny Angles In Angular Time constructs a “black box” of sorts within The Chocolate Factory’s white industrial space and proceeds to subvert its conventions, unfolding via a series of durational, live and videotaped actions, both virtuosic and fanciful.
