Liz Glynn

Museum of Contemporary Art - MOCA, Los Angeles

For this performance Glynn will construct and then burn a steel frame structure combining architectural features of the Crystal Palace with that of MOCA's own facade. Destroying the model offsite, Glynn will bring its charred remains to MOCA, where she will scatter them so that visitors may sift through the ruins; she will also project a film of the burning in MOCA's Arco Court. The evening will be organized into three movements, each signaled by a changing musical score composed specifically for the project by experimental percussionist Corey Fogel, a longtime collaborator of Glynn's. Beginning with the presentation of the fire and wreckage, Glynn and her collaborators will perform a metaphorical resurrection of the site, creating an a improvised, kaleidoscopic performance using light and colored glass, with a palette inspired by Paul Scheerbart's technc-utopic novel The Grey Cloth, which will progress into a formal and participatory choreographed dance.
