CamLab at BEN RUSSELL

posted August 7, 2009 in residents

 

CamLab performed at the opening reception of BEN RUSSELL : BURNS this past Sunday evening.  A few of us from threewalls attended the performance, which was staged in front of the gallery, allowing both visitors and passers-by to watch from the sidewalk. Connected by long sheet of green striped fabric, one performer stayed inside the gallery at a window while the other moved outside.  The two spoke to each other about physical space and architecture through personal antecdotes and quoted texts. 

Along with their performance, CamLab installed a social sculpture for the show.  Stretching across most of the gallery’s backyard, the sculpture is sewn of articles of clothing and hangs at shoulder level. Visitors mingled neck-up through collars, waistbands, sleeves, and other natural openings within the stratum of black fabric.
