Today Is Not a Dress Rehersal
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Hybrid installation/film set for live performance, video, and sculpture, featuring collaboration with artist Charles Atlas. Special performances included an experimental lecture by philosopher Judith Butler and a sound performance by New Humans.
Set consists of sculptural objects (which double as scenery flats) and the accoutrements of film production, including lighting gear, dolly tracks, and sound equipment. When not in active use by the artist/performers, the set is open to public view—its ongoing transformation and everything “behind the scenes”—making transparent the process of collaborative art production, with its multiple takes and negotiations.
