A Performative Didactic
*Located in the hallway outside Justina M. Barnicke Gallery.
This work ensures that you literally stand inside the play before entering the exhibition, which is a rehearsal for it. A cheeky gesture, reproducing Stein’s text here turns an exhibition’s “didactic” panel into the script for a play. A “performative didactic” might be likened to live dramaturgy. From the play: “Now then read for me to me what you can and will see. I see what there is to see. You want to show more effort than that. And now how do you do. I have done very well.”
