"Saturday Sessions: Wayne Hodge, Daniel Perlin" Performance
MOMA PS1
This event has ended.
Wayne Hodge’s artwork is strongly influenced by early cinema and popular culture. His videos, drawings, and performances have referenced minstrel performers and silent films to engage notions of race, identity, and representation. For Saturday Sessions, Hodge will present a new piece in which he will sing minstrel and other popular tunes through variously sized megaphones. By combining physical endurance with popular songs, Hodge tests stereotypes and ideas of entertainment.
An artist and sound designer who often collaborates with architects, Daniel Perlin performs Re: construction, an attempt to simultaneously build a model house and create an audio composition based on the sounds of its construction. Referencing both Robert Morris’ Box with the Sound of its Own Making (1961) and the sampling work of Matthew Herbert, Perlin makes full use of hammers, screw drivers, and other tools for their physical and sonic capabilities.
