ARTIST-MUSICIAN-CULTURAL AGITATOR
Ivana Ray Singh, AKA Lucy Tcherno Ivanenko, is an interdisciplinary artist, cultural agitator, curator and DJ from Menorca, Balearic Islands.
Her focus is upon avant-garde music and its intersection with performance art and thought practices, mainly via her collaborative project Amas, inspired by the traditional pearl divers of Japan (Ama) and the Jungian metaphore of Alchemy as the process of individuation.
As a solo artist she has toured locally, nationally and in Europe, with her work Entanglements that Matter, an immersive experience of electronic music and performance art inspired by physicist Karen Barad’s concept of Agential Realism.
She is also a member of duos Photon Phonon (with Annika Francke) and Solar Bodies (with Museless), and is composer and live performer in Utopia by Miquel Barcelona Dance Company.
