"Theaters are sacred spaces to me. I wanted to create a unique experience of viewing art on stage and then being able to see a live performance that brings together the space, the art, and the story and its themes. I was inspired by Thornton Wilder's Our Town, the monologues of Spalding Gray, and the great potential of the human race."
Becoming Unfinished is an art installation with daily performances debuting at the Hudson Guild Theater.
The brainchild of New York based multi-disciplinary artist Tony Michale Estrada, Becoming Unfinished serves as a public art experience aimed to engage the community in why people create art, and how art can change lives and transform what it means to be human. It is also a love letter to the art community, to all the artists and gallerists who have ever given the artist a free show.
The twice daily one-hour performances embedded in the installation bring together the art, the space, and the artist. The three inter-connected monologues follow a gallery owner and his most recent exhibition, and a father and son relationship, mirrored in the artwork floating around the stage and made by Estrada himself. Between monologues, the show turns into a modern gallery of sorts. When Estrada is not performing, he will sit in the audience and become the spectator, watching visitors view his art. He will be available to discuss the work as artist and gallery owner in one.
