“Hudson Terminus” marks the return of Jon Kinzel to the liminal edges of movement and meaning, in an ambitious, multi-floor takeover of Hudson Hall. Equal parts installation, drawing practice, performance score, and body-time experiment, the work extends Kinzel’s “Terminus” series—an ongoing interrogation of aging, gesture, and digital decay. Downstairs, visitors traverse a landscape of mark-making and sculptural residue; upstairs, a kinetic trio (Kinzel, Anne Iobst, and Fabio Tavares) performs twice daily on July 19-20, blurring the line between compositional rigor and improvisatory spasm. “It’s about the body as both instrument and archive,” says Kinzel. Commissioned by Hudson Hall and running just 25 minutes per showing, the live performance lands somewhere between a fugue state and a transmission from the near future.
