Dimensions Variable presents Voleur (thief), a two day performance by Jamilah Sabur and Andy Robert for a performance each day. This performance is a tribute to Marie Vieux Chauvet who was a Haitian novelist, poet and playwright. Born and educated in Port-au-Prince, her most famous works are the novels Fille d’Haïti (1954), La Danse sur le Volcan (1957), Fonds des Nègres (1961), and Amour, Colère, Folie (1969).This time Jamilah Sabur and Andy Robert play a game of mancala–over the course of 2-hours, while enacting roles of prisoner and guard.

Jamilah Sabur was born in Saint Andrew, Jamaica and lives and works in Miami. Sabur received her BFA in Interdisciplinary Sculpture from Maryland Institute College of Art in 2009 and an MFA from University of California San Diego in 2014. She is interested in cognitive science and the the uncanny, the basis of her technique is rooted in movement—it is a way to explore the unconscious mind.

Andy Robert was born in Les Cayes, Haiti. He received his BFA in painting from Maryland Institute College of Art in 2008 and MFA from California Institute of the Arts in 2011. He is recipient of a 2013 Rema Hort Mann Foundation Grant. Robert was artist-in-residence at the Whitney Independent Study Program 2014-15.
