In Hands and Knees, Gordon Hall upends the function of a familiar object of waiting: the chair. During live performances, reclining bodies are carried through the gallery on gurney-like sculptures that are placed to rest atop pairs of chairs.
Performed by: Maud Grauer, Steven Hou, Michael Orr, SpaceKat, Jessica Taylor, Tina Wang, and Jean Wildest
Slow Dance
Slow Dance features artists who use performance to reclaim forms of slowness that resist the contemporary demand to constantly perform.
