Here’s The Moves

Live-transmission performance (10:00) and live performance (10:00), part of Spirit Resurrection at LACE, Los Angeles, CA, 2012

“Here’s the Moves” combines a video projection of animals with drawing, to study the physical forms and gestures of the animal movements. A series of gestural lines made with charcoal become densely layered on a large sheet of paper resulting in a record of both my movements and the animals.

The ten-minute performance was generated in the private space of my Los Angeles studio and was broadcast live and projected at LACE. Following the live-transmission performance, I arrived at LACE and rolled the large drawing out on the floor. It was cut into 24 small drawings and handed out to the audience.

“Here’s the Moves” was inspired by, “Here’s the News” a performance by Bob and Bob shown at LACE in October of 1980.
