Maria Hassabi "Crossing the Line 2009, Solo"
PS122 Gallery
This event has ended.
A new diptych work by Maria Hassabi, commissioned by Crossing the Line, PERFORMA, and Performance Space 122, is composed of two evening-long solos. The first, entitled Solo, will premiere as part of Crossing the Line 2009, while the second SoloShow will premiere as part of PERFORMA 09.
In Solo, Hassabi performs with a Persian area carpet. The carpet becomes, variously, a prop object, an outer skin, and architecture. These shifts describe the negotiation of desire in a dancing figure as it approaches visibility within the space of a given frame. This desire manifests itself as a changing temporal process, as complex and interwoven as the many patterns in the carpet.
