Slow dancing with two fans is a small excerpt from the three-day action, I am not quite sure. This is an arduous terrain (2013). The artist invited gallery goers to slow dance with her during the opening of the exhibition at White Columns, and then at other unannounced times during the run of the show. Two industrial fans were set up at the entrance of the gallery where the dancing took place and the action became the filter through which people entered the space.
Slow dancing with two fans (2014). Action, as part of the group exhibition Looking Back: The Eighth White Columns Annual - Selected by Pati Hertling (2014) at White Columns, New York City and as part of Loitering with Intent (2014), Stockholm University of the Arts, Stockholm. The action first took place as part the three-day action I am not quite sure. This is an arduous terrain (2013), which was part of the group show Descartes’ Daughter (2013), curated by Piper Marshall at the Swiss Institute Contemporary Art, New York City.
