Shape-shifting and genre-bending, Ace of Violets (they/them/their) is a transdisciplinary performancer who weaves together poetry, sound, movement, sculpture, drawing, mapping, and video into live works of art. Ace’s staged performance work explores the dynamic and intersectional relationships between language, neurodiversity, gender, body, and the environment.
Known for their work using what they call “charismatic props,” Ace has presented artwork at 85 venues in 42 cities in the United States, Canada and Scotland. Venues include MOMA, PS1 and PS122 in New York, LACE and Highways in Los Angeles, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and Southern Exposure in San Francisco, Pro Arts and the Berkeley Art Museum in the East Bay, Center for Contemporary Arts and Arches Theatre in Glasgow, Scotland, and the Banff Centre of the Arts in Canada.
Ace’s 10-year-long, site-specific performance project The Reversicon explored 50 sites across the country with 25 collaborators.
