“Odd Spaces” launches the MFA’s new performance art program in May 2013. Probed by the questions, “Where is performance art’s place in the museum? How can it expand the ways we experience and define art?” participating artists Marilyn Arsem, David Levine, John C. Gonzalez, Sandrine Schaefer and Philip Fryer stage performances in places where art might not typically appear at the MFA. The five participatory performances invite community members to share their vision about what the performance could look like at the MFA.
Performances include:
“Family Meal” by John C. Gonzalez in the Garden Cafeteria and Bravo Restaurant
“With the Others”by Marilyn Arsem in the Egyptian Galleries
“durance” by David Levine, Druker Classroom in the Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art
“Untitled View” by Sandrine Schaefer and Philip Fryer in the Shapiro Rotunda and throughout the Museum
With generous support from The Contemporaries.
